Ma Ning's words were clearly meant to ridicule Qu Zhongyi. To him, as long as they were civil servants in the DPRK and China, no one was a good person...
"You..." Ou Daojiang shook his sleeves angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Although he was a scribe and had already entered half of the Confucian ranks, this was both an officialdom and a military camp.
Ma Ning watched Ou Daojiang fly away and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress him.
If the two really fight... Ma Ning really can't defeat Ou Daojiang without relying on military seals and military formations.
"Ma Shuai, I'm afraid this matter won't end well..." A deputy general came to Ma Ning and said.
"I know what they want to do with my butt. If I really want him to take away the soldiers today... that will not end well!" Ma Ning shook his head and continued: "I am favored by the old prince. , Although he speaks softly in the court, when he returns to the army, no matter how strong his loyalty is, he will not let me do anything against my conscience!"
The deputy general nodded, and they naturally understood what the old general meant, but some things were unavoidable...
"Then tomorrow's meeting..."
Before the deputy general could finish his question, Ma Ning stretched out his hand to interrupt: "Please tell me something. Just say that I am old and unwell, and I may not have much time left."
The lieutenant was speechless and kowtowed. He wanted to say, "Can't you stop talking nonsense?" I can come to the military camp to hang out at night, and I have to say that I am not feeling well... Isn't it obvious that I am lying to ghosts and the emperor...
…
Prime Minister's Mansion
When Ou Daojiang informed Qu Zhongyi about the military camp, Qu Zhongyi almost died of anger.
"Ma Ning! You old man, why don't you die earlier!"
"Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Ou Daojiang asked.
Qu Zhongyi clasped his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, helplessly saying: "Let Mr. Lou recall the person, the target is Xu Que!"
"Prime Minister, it is taboo to let the tiger return to the mountain!" Ou Daojiang said.
"What can we do? If there is no military formation, even if Mingde Tower is fully occupied, Xu Maocai can't be killed. Since he can't be killed, it's better to attack his son. Anyway, he has already been torn apart!"
"What about asking the Emperor?" Ou Daojiang was still unwilling to give up. He felt that with the Prime Minister's current status, it would definitely be possible to ask the Emperor for help.
Qu Zhongyi glanced at Ou Daojiang: "The emperor wants to kill the Xu family, but he can't say it himself, let alone dispatch the military formation himself. He is the Nine-Five Lord and is protected by dragon energy. If the emperor's seal is covered with dust, …How do you think things will go?”
Ou Daojiang was so frightened that he trembled all over. He kowtowed quickly to show that he didn't know anything just now.
"Okay, go ahead and ask someone to keep an eye on Xu Que. I don't believe that Xu Mao didn't save his son!"
"Yes, Prime Minister." Ou Daojiang resigned.
Watching Ou Daojiang leave, Qu Zhongyi stood up slowly, took out his official seal and reported the news directly.
After everything was done, he walked out of the main hall, looked up at the night sky and said, "Bai Yi, don't think I don't know you are looking at me!"
Quiet, deathly quiet.
Qu Zhongyi said "hum", rolled up his sleeves and left.
After Qu Zhongyi left completely, an old man in white stood in the sky of the night. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then disappeared again.

Baihua Building, Chenghe Port, Inner City, Capital City
This place is different from the outer city. In the inner city, you can play and sing every night as a groom, but in the outer city, you can't wander around as long as Haishi arrives, because after Haishi, it is the curfew time of the capital!
As for the inner city... there is no such regulation at all!
As we all know, brothels work at night, so the Inner City River Port is also the best gold selling cave in the capital!
If you compare Piaoxiang Building and Baihua Building in the north of the city, you really can't tell. After all, the two places have different main projects. One is goldfish, and the other is wooden fish...
Xu Que admires this kind of entertainment club because there is often a lot of news here. As long as you are rich and talented, you can choose any girl here...
As for staying overnight... We are all young and energetic guys. It's normal to stay here. Who can resist the girl's teasing?
So, most of whoever comes here will stay in a certain girl's room.
"Young Master, I would like to propose a toast to you." A delicate woman picked up the wine glass and looked at Xu Que with a smile.
Xu Que was speechless, picked up the wine glass to signal, and then poured it away without the other party paying attention...
He really couldn't get used to drinking sour water. If he could make wine once everything was settled, he would not only be able to make money, but also expand into other avenues.
"Young gentleman, how about I dance for you?" the delicate woman asked.
"There's no need to dance, let's continue drinking!" Xu Que picked up the wine glass and said.
Xu Que complained in his heart. With such a bad wine, he probably wouldn't get drunk even if he drank a bottle of it. If he wasn't trying to make a prank, he would probably have changed to a girl long ago.
After the woman drank the wine, Xu Que pretended to be affectionate and asked, "Miss Qianyu, why haven't you seen your benefactor come to you in the past few days?"
"Young gentleman, are you talking about Mr. He?" Miss Qianyu looked at Xu Que shyly with a hint of drunkenness.
"Yes." Xu Que teased Miss Qianyu's chin with his right hand and said in sophisticated words: "I saw him coming out of your incense room a few days ago. I heard that your skills are good."
"The young man... is so bad." Miss Qianyu flattered her: "How about we try later..."
"Okay, I really want to give it a try." Xu Que held Miss Qianyu's hand: "I heard that Mr. He has been transferred recently, and I don't know where he will be..."
"He, he was said to be an inspector a few days ago, and he seems to have gone to Nanfengzhou." Miss Qianyu looked up as if thinking about it, and then continued: "I heard that his position was sent by the Prime Minister... We are going to some small place in Yu County."
"Yes, Shanyu County!" Xu Que quickly reminded.
"Yes, yes, the young man is so talented, right there!" Miss Qianyu looked at Xu Que with a smile. She was liking the young man in front of her more and more now. Not only was he good-looking, he would also say some thoughtful things. Love words.
Xu Que didn't know what this Qianyu girl was thinking. He had now got the news he wanted, but why did Mr. He go to Shanyu County?
Suddenly, Xu Que seemed to have figured it all out!
"Xiao Langjun, where are you going?" Miss Qianyu asked as she watched Xu Que get up.
Xu Que pretended to be drunk, took out a fifty-tael silver note and said, "I drank a little too much tonight. I'm going to relieve myself. Thank you girl for accompanying me!"
"Little Master, here..." Just as Miss Qianyu picked up the banknote and raised her head, Xu Que had already walked out.
Did Xu Que go to relieve himself? Of course not, he wanted to find a quiet place to connect everything together. After all, some things require calm thinking!
And just when Xu Que walked to the first floor and was about to ask the waiter to give him a separate room, a beautiful woman stopped Xu Que.
"Young Master Xu, do you still remember the slave family?" The pretty woman looked at Xu Que with a shy smile.
Xu Que was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly thought of the woman in front of him, Baihualou Oiran—Ning Yunshang!
"The slave family asked the king to tell you about the matter. It turned out that it was good for you. I dismissed it with one sentence. No matter what, I came to sit in the slave family's room today." Ning Yunshang clung to Xu Que's shoulder and said coquettishly.
For a moment, the guests on the first floor were all stunned. What did they see? What did you hear? The oiran of Baihualou actually invited a young man to sit in his room?
Is this the sun coming out in the west?
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Xu Que smiled and stopped Ning Yunshang's waist, and then walked towards the third floor.
Everyone who passed by couldn't believe it. This was the first time they saw Ning Yunshang being held like this!
"Who is this person?" someone asked.
"I don't know, I've never seen it!"
Everyone around him shook his head. None of them knew Xu Que.
And when Xu Que came to the third floor, a scribe who was wearing a robe was stunned.
"Xu Que?" The man looked at Xu Que blankly.
"Hey, isn't this Zhang's stupid son?" Xu Que showed a wicked smile: "Why did the battle end so quickly?"
"you you……"
"It's insulting to politeness, isn't it?" Xu Que interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, it is an insult to gentlemen!" Mr. Zhang answered.
Xu Que smiled disdainfully, came to Mr. Zhang and whispered a few words, then entered Ning Yunshang's room with a "haha" laugh.
