Once Ma Kun walked out of the courtyard, Ning Zhongyuan immediately called out, "Big brother, you're muddle-headed!"
Dong Qifei shook his head, "Yes, I am!"
Ning Boyuan said indifferently, "It's just a small matter, I'll be back in two days. We have nothing to do anyway, the Centurion won't mind if we don't do anything for more than ten days."
"Won't mind?" Dong Qifei laughed.
Ning Boyuan looked at his strange smile and closed fist saluted, "Brother Dong, you've been with the Centurion for a long time, please guide me."
"Sigh …" Dong Qifei shook his head and sighed in satisfaction.
The Ning brothers had a very high position in the Secret Guardians Hall, their tracking skills were top-notch, the House needed them, and he was just a pawn. He was proud to be treated so politely, he tried his best to explain, "The Centurion doesn't have a good relationship with this Ma Kun!"
The Ning brothers were not stupid, they knew something was wrong when they heard it.
They recalled the situation in the main hall.
Ma Kun was aggressive towards Centurion Chu, but Centurion Chu was calm, as if he did not care about what he said, did not argue with him, and let him force him.
"Is it an enemy?" Ning Zhongyuan quickly asked.
Dong Qifei said, "More or less, Centurion Chu is a magnanimous man, he did not lower himself to Ma Kun's level, but this Ma Kun kept finding fault with him, Centurion Chu is a Centurion now, how could he let him do as he pleases?"
"Why is it like this? Centurion Ma would not go against Centurion Chu for no reason, right?" Ning Zhongyuan frowned.
"Centurion Ma's nephew died in the Imperial Residence of King An, Princess Siao's hands," Dong Yufei said, then looked at the brothers with a smile.
The Ning brothers suddenly understood.
They could guess the rest.
Ma Kun must have been indignant and wanted to take revenge, but the Secret Guardians Hall did not allow internal strife, so he had been targeting Centurion Chu at every turn, going against him and finding fault with him. He wanted to provoke Centurion Chu's anger to the point that he would attack him.
Once he attacked, Ma Kun would have a reason to attack, even if he killed Centurion Chu, his crime would not be that serious.
Although this method was not brilliant, it was very effective.
"Think about it. If you agree, what will happen to our Centurion?" Dong Qifei shook his head and said, "So, we still have to ask Centurion Chu about this."
"Yes, yes, I was thinking too simply." Ning Boyuan quickly nodded.
He was shocked. If he really went to help, he would be in big trouble!
Centurion Chu was not an ordinary person. He was smart and capable, and his methods were outstanding.
They were under Centurion Chu's command. As long as Centurion Chu played some dirty tricks, the two of them would not have an easy time. They might have to keep running around outside, and they might not even get the credit. In any case, there were plenty of ways to deal with them.
"Sigh, it's all thanks to Brother Dong." Ning Boyuan nodded with lingering fear in his heart.
Dong Qifei smiled and said, "It's nothing. We're from the same academy, so of course we have to take care of each other."
"Shall we go to the Imperial Residence and ask?" Ning Boyuan humbly asked for guidance.
Dong Qifei shook his head and said, "No need, we'll pretend we don't know about this."
"Oh?" Ning Boyuan furrowed his brows and thought for a while before he nodded. "I understand now! Just pretend you don't know anything! "
Ning Zhongyuan smiled and said, "Big Brother, you're finally enlightened. You scared me!"
Although they had been through life and death situations with Ma Kun, they could not do anything about this. They had to lower their heads when they were under someone else's roof. They could not put themselves in a difficult situation just to help him.
Moreover, they did not have to do this case. There was no need for them to sacrifice themselves for others.

The next morning, Ma Kun came over again and said loudly, "Big Ning, Young Ning, let's go?"
Ning Boyuan and Ning Zhongyuan came out from the side room. They closed fist saluted and said helplessly, "I'm really sorry, we have a mission today. Why don't you tell Centurion Chu first?"
"Tell him?" Ma Kun's face darkened for a while, then he smiled and said, "Is it worth telling him about such a small matter? He's busy with important matters!"
"We really don't dare to make the decision," Ning Boyuan said helplessly.
Ma Kun's face darkened and scoffed. "Why, you're not even going to help such a small group?"
"What small group?" Chu Li's voice was heard.
He was dressed in a white robe and slowly walked into the courtyard.
Ning Boyuan and Ning Zhongyuan closed fist saluted as if they had been pardoned.
They were secretly grateful to Dong Qifei. As expected, he went to the Imperial Residence and secretly told the Centurion about the matter.
Ma Kun frowned and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled faintly, "Senior Ma, it's a blessing to have you here. What can I do for you?"
Ma Kun clenched his teeth. He did not want to talk to him but he really had to say it. He could only bite the bullet and scoffed. "There's a murderer that escaped from my side. I need the Ning Brothers to track him down."
Chu Li said, "You don't need the Ning Brothers for such a small matter."
"If I could catch him myself, why would I need the Ning Brothers? Although the Ning Brothers are your subordinates, they are also people of the Secret Guardians Hall! "Ma Kun said impatiently.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Then you can look for the Commander. I will naturally follow the Commander's orders. As for you, Senior Ma, they have other things to do. They don't have the time to care about other people's business."
"Chu Li, you're taking revenge on purpose, aren't you?" Ma Kun's face darkened. He glared at him. "Is this how narrow-minded you are?"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Senior Ma, you're wrong. If I help you, I'm broad-minded. If I don't, I'm narrow-minded. Everyone has to revolve around you? "
"Chu Li, don't forget that there will be a time when you need my help!" Ma Kun threatened. "Don't go overboard. We'll meet again in the future!"
Chu Li smiled. "Yes, thank you for the reminder, Senior Ma. I'll return this to you. Have a safe trip. I won't see you out!"
As he said that, he turned and entered the main hall.
"Chu Li, I'll look for the Commander!" Ma Kun scoffed.
Chu Li did not care about him.
He could finally vent his anger. He had been holding it in and did not fall for his tricks. He wanted to control the Secret Guardians Hall. He could not lose the bigger picture because of a small gain. Today was an opportunity that came knocking on his door. If he let it go, he would be letting himself down.
Even if the Commander knew about it, he could not say anything. If you can do thirty, I can do fifteen.
The Ning Brothers followed him into the house.
"You've done well!" Chu Li looked at the two of them with satisfaction.
The two of them were also secretly looking at him.
They were extremely curious about this rising star of the Secret Guardians Hall, especially his tracking skill.
However, this was an exclusive secret technique. He would not reveal it easily. They would get along well with each other. Once their relationship was deep enough, they might reveal some of the secrets.
They were the most obsessed with tracking skills. That was why they were so successful.
"The Full Cloud Camp was destroyed. Go and see what happened." Chu Li picked up a file on the table and passed it to Ning Boyuan. "I think there's something fishy about this. Investigate it carefully."
"Yes." The two of them understood. They knew that Chu Li was purposely sending them away so that Ma Kun would not have a chance.
Chu Li shook his head. "This is not just a grudge. This case is very important. Keep your spirits up and investigate carefully. Don't get yourselves involved!"
"Yes." The two of them said seriously.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Move immediately!"
"Yes." The two of them closed fist saluted and left the main hall.
