Shocked?
Apart from this inn, there were many spies from other factions around the Dragon Slaying Marquis Mansion, some of which were sent by Nangong Yu 'er.
Chief Steward Ning stood at the end of the street and kept a low profile, but his eyes never left the Dragon Slaying Marquis Mansion. Nangong Yu 'er had instructed him to inform her immediately if there was any news.
Inside the imperial palace.
Deng San went to find Wu Ma Ji and explained the situation to her before asking for Qin Zheng's resignation.
He then led a group of men towards the Dragon Slaying Marquis Mansion.
Qin Zheng and Chen Qinyu were left confused.
"Your Majesty, does the Ninth Princess want to stay at the Dragon Slaying Marquis Mansion?"
Chen Qinyu asked Qin Zheng again as if to confirm.
Qin Zheng nodded, "That's what Deng San said."
"Looks like the Dragon Slaying Marquis didn't steal from the Ninth Princess …"
Chen Qinyu revealed a smile.
Qin Zheng also thought of the same thing as her, and a trace of worry appeared on his face. "Although Ning Qi's current status is considered noble, compared to the Ninth Princess, there is still a large gap. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I just hope that nothing goes wrong."
… …
Cao Dinglong and the rest finally saw some movement after waiting for half a day.
However, it wasn't the Dragon Slaying Marquis Mansion, but a group of men appeared on the street.
A Sky Howling White Tiger and four Ice Crystal White Tigers were pulling an incomparably luxurious carriage with carvings of dragons and phoenixes. The person driving the carriage was the Ninth Princess' Dou Huang bodyguard, Deng San, whose cultivation was unfathomable!
The passersby quickly gave way. Since the carriage was pulled by the white tigers, it must be the Ninth Princess' convoy. The officials had already informed the White Tiger Empire that it was a taboo for anyone to collide with the imperial convoy. They would treat anyone who collided with the convoy as an assassin and would be punished!
Therefore, the passersby quickly gave way when they saw the convoy from afar. Some of the street vendors even packed up their stalls and looked at the convoy with respectful expressions.
Chief Steward Ning took over ten steps back and swept his gaze across the Ice Crystal White Tigers and Deng San who was driving the carriage. He revealed a trace of envy. They were both servants, but he was the chief steward of the Marquis Mansion. Yet, the other party could drive such a carriage, while he could only stand on the street and report to his master.
The difference in treatment was like heaven and earth …
But when he thought that Ning Qi was about to be punished, he became happy.
"The Dragon Slayer Marquis is probably doomed this time."
"Yeah, it's a pity. It's rare for our Qin Tang Empire to have another alchemy grandmaster."
"Who asked him to offend the princess of the White Tiger Empire and almost bring calamity upon us? Serves him right."
"Chief Steward Ning, is your master happy now?"
Huangfu Fei had appeared beside Chief Steward Ning at some point in time.
Chief Steward Ning glanced at him and hurriedly bowed: "This one greets Chief Steward Huangfu."
The other party was a three star Dou Wang, and his cultivation was similar to Ning Hongtian's. On the other hand, he was only a one star Dou Ling. Although they were both chief supervisors, he had to treat him as a junior.
"Ning Qi is arrogant and domineering. It's not surprising that he ended up like this."
Chief Steward Ning didn't answer Huangfu Fei's question directly.
Huang Fufei smiled faintly and ignored him. He focused his attention on the gates of the manor and waited for things to develop.
"The Ninth Princess has called everyone over. Old man, come and take a look."
Cao Dinglong gestured towards the direction of the street with his mouth and smiled at Old Master Ning.
"Oh? Is that so? "
Old Master Ning walked to the window and his expression changed slightly.
"Haha, you must be anxious now. Don't deny it. I can see it." Cao Dinglong said happily.
"Oh? Then continue watching. "
Old Master Ning smiled leisurely.
Huangfu Zhengxiao felt something was slightly off from this. From the beginning until the end, he'd never sensed a feeling of anxiousness from Ancestor Ning. Exactly what's the reason that allows him to be so composed?
"Humph."
Cao Dinglong snorted.
Old Master Ning's attitude made him very uncomfortable. Therefore, he waited for things to develop and then find a chance to mock him.
All the spies in the restaurant and on the street watched the carriages nervously.
The carriages slowly stopped in front of the gates of the Residence of the Dragon Slayer Marquis. Zhao Er suddenly opened the gates and ingratiatingly said: "Please come in, please come in."
Deng San smiled and signaled the leading White Howling Tiger to ignore the steps in front of them and drive the carriages into the Residence of the Dragon Slayer Marquis.
Then, Zhao Er looked around and closed the door quietly.
There was no dispute from the beginning to the end.
Seeing this scene, the spies were puzzled.
Cao Dinglong was dumbfounded.
Huangfu Zhengxiao thoughtfully looked at the smiling Old Master Ning.
Cao Zheng and the others were also very puzzled. Why did everything look so peaceful, and there was no atmosphere of denouncing them at all?
At this moment, Ning Yan, who was hiding in an alley, punched the wall angrily: "What's going on!"
The development of the situation was completely different from what he had expected!
"Are you surprised?"
Old Master Ning looked at the crowd with a smile.
Cao Dinglong's expression turned ugly. He snorted and did not speak.
"Old Marquis, I'd like to hear the details."
Huangfu Zhengxiao smiled.
"Shenwu Duke, for your sake, I'll say a few more words. The Ninth Princess has already ordered people to move into my grandson's residence. In the future, my grandson will be the Alchemist of the Ninth Princess' residence."
Great-grandfather Ning's face revealed a proud smile.
"What? Didn't you say that the Ninth Princess has a deep grudge against Ning Qi?! "
Cao Zheng said in surprise.
"What deep grudge? It's just a misunderstanding between the two. As long as it's resolved, everything will be fine."
Old Master Ning glanced at Cao Zheng and said with a cold snort.
"It seems that the relationship between the Dragon Slayer Marquis and the Ninth Princess isn't simple. Hehe." Huangfu Zhengxiao smiled insincerely and walked downstairs.
Old Master Ning's information was too shocking. Everyone left the restaurant thoughtfully. If what he said was true, then everyone's attitude towards the Dragon Slayer Marquis' residence would have to change.
Huangfu Zhengxiao walked to the street and coincidentally saw Huangfu Fei. Huangfu Fei bowed and asked in confusion: "Master, the Ninth Princess and the Dragon Slayer Marquis' residence …"
Huangfu Zhengxiao glanced at Chief Steward Ning beside Huangfu Fei and smiled: "This is a little different from what we expected. We'll have to wait for news from the palace to know if it's true."
After Huangfu Zhengxiao and the rest left, Chief Steward Ning turned around and left thoughtfully. He was going to find a few brothers in the palace and ask them what was going on.
… …
Hundred Herb Hall.
"Young master, I saw the Ninth Princess enter the Dragon Slayer Marquis' residence with my own eyes, but it seems that there's no deep grudge between them."
