How could he be called brother by the emperor in front of others?
Chen Qing joked, "We haven't seen each other for years, and now that we have reunited after so many years, it can't be that you guys didn't even invite us out for a meal, right?"
With that said, the atmosphere relaxed a little and everyone entered the hall.
Cheng Qing looked delighted while Ji Ning looked calm and collected. Among the three of them, only Li Muhao had a strange look in his eyes. He kept silent with his head lowered slightly, as if he had a guilty conscience and was too ashamed to look anyone in the eye.
Because he knew that Chen Qing would be coming, Song Qianshu had already ordered people to prepare a banquet. Naturally, there was no shortage of fine wine or delicious food, and there were even songs and dances made from silk and bamboo, ready to be served. There was no doubt that the dishes prepared by the gatekeepers to entertain the guests were naturally luxurious.
The meal was fast.
During dinner, no one spoke. The atmosphere was strange and depressing.
Whether it was Cheng Qing, Ji Ning, or Li Muhao, it was already rare for them to be able to give Song Qianshu and Song Xuejun a smile when they entered the mansion.
When he was full, he took his place at the table and changed into tea and snacks. It was time for the conversation.
Song Xuejun and Song Qianshu were both mentally prepared for this. Therefore, the people who ordered Song Zhuo were not allowed to approach without orders, regardless of what they heard.
Those who were guarding Ji Ning in the dark were naturally not in this area.
Even though he was the head of a family, he was still pressured by Ji Ning. However, as an official, he did not break his word. When he saw that Ji Ning had lost an arm for no reason, Song Qianshu still had to express his concern.
He stood up and bowed, "May I ask Your Majesty, who injured the dragon's body? Even though this subject is weak, I am willing to lead the cultivators of the clan to kill this thief for His Majesty! "
After the victory, Song Zhuo wouldn't have to worry about the issue of the downside for ten years. Now that Ji Ning had personally come to Song Zhuan's mansion, Song Qianshu thought that things might turn for the better.
Ji Ning laughed, "You have wounded my man. I'm afraid you can't bear to do it. "
Song Qianshu's heart trembled as he looked at Ji Ning with a puzzled expression. However, when he saw that Ji Ning did not have any evil intentions, he couldn't help but become suspicious. He looked at Cheng Qing, hoping that he would be able to tell him immediately if he knew.
Cheng Qing put down his teacup. "I was the one who hurt His Majesty."
Upon hearing these words, Song Qianshu almost fell flat on the ground.
Song Xuejun also almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
Cheng Qing glanced at Ji Ning, "But your majesty doesn't mind."
"Not only does I not mind, I should thank you instead." Ji Ning laughed out loud. His voice was loud and clear, and he did not seem to be mocking Cheng Qing at all.
This caused Song Qianshu and Song Xuejun to fall into a fog.
The fight between Cheng Qing and Ji Ning at the Peach Blossom Mountain Range was short. It had only been three moves. Within three moves, Cheng Qing had already cut off one of Ji Ning's arms. Cheng Qing still had the ability to kill Ji Ning on the spot. Even if Ji Ning had a royal bodyguard, he still wouldn't be able to stop Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing only wanted Ji Ning's arm, not Ji Ning's life. This was why Ji Ning was grateful to Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing lowered his eyes and said: "No need to thank me." Just because I don't kill you today doesn't mean that I will let you go. Perhaps you won't even survive past tomorrow. "
Song Xuejun and Song Qianshu stared at Cheng Qing as if they were looking at a ghost. Their hearts were in turmoil.
Cheng Qing actually wants to kill Ji Ning? He wanted to assassinate the Emperor? He wants to rebel? Why did he do this? How dare he? But from the looks of it, why didn't Ji Ning mind at all?
