"Travel?"
Zhu Wuxia said with a confused face, "Didn't Master Yun go to participate in the Warriors' Assembly?"
"Warriors' Assembly?"
Ding Ning opened his mouth wide in shock. "Why did she go to participate in the Warriors' Assembly?"
"You don't know? The Warriors' Assembly is held every three years and is related to the division of interests of various underground forces in Jiangnan. When the Qin family was still there, the Qin family sent representatives to participate. But this year, the Qin family is gone, and the underground forces of Ninghai have no leader. The Seventh Lord's Mansion wants to replace it, so it wants to represent the whole of Ninghai to participate in the Warriors' Assembly. Of course, other local forces are unwilling, so they found Master Yun and wanted us, Qingyun Security, to represent the whole of Ninghai to participate in the Warriors' Assembly. "
Zhu Wuxia introduced eloquently, "Master Yun didn't want to meddle in this business, but he couldn't just watch the Seventh Lord's Mansion, a foreign force, represent Ninghai, so he negotiated with the Seventh Lord's Mansion. As a result, they fought because of a disagreement."
"They fought?"
Ding Ning frowned. After the establishment of Qingyun Security, it had never done anything against reason and nature. It had a high prestige among the people, and even the government supported it. Strictly speaking, it was not an underground force.
Now Qingyun Security had a conflict with the Seventh Lord's Mansion for a place to participate in the Warriors' Assembly. It would be involved in the struggle of the underground forces again, which was a situation he didn't want to see.
"Well, they fought. The strength of the Seventh Lord's Mansion was unexpectedly strong and finally tied with us. Master Yun had to decide to participate in the Warriors' Assembly on behalf of Ninghai with them."
Zhu Wuxia said with some self-blame, "It's also my fault. I didn't know the real strength of the Seventh Lord's Mansion in advance."
"Wait, what did you say? Tied? "
Ding Ning's expression instantly became strange. Although he rarely took charge of the Green Cloud Security Company after it was established, before he went to the Kunpeng World, the Green Cloud Security Company was the strongest armed force in his hands. How could it be defeated by a small mansion of the Seventh Lord?
"Yes, tied. There is an old man in the Seventh Lord's Mansion who is very powerful. Even Brother Xiahou couldn't defeat him."
As the assistant to the president of Qingyun Security and the leader of Black Rat's intelligence organization, Zhu Wuxia naturally knew Xia Hou, the top master of Qingyun Security in name.
Ding Ning was a little confused. Although Xiahou's strength was nothing to him now, in the entire Green Cloud Security Company, he could be considered as one of the top masters. He did not expect that there was a master in the Seventh Lord's Mansion who could make him feel helpless. It seemed that the Seventh Lord's Mansion was also a place of many hidden talents.
"Isn't this year's Warrior Competition postponed to the 18th of this month? It's only the twelfth today. Why are you going to participate in some Warrior Competition? "
Ding Ning immediately thought that the Warriors' Assembly had been postponed to the 18th because of the quota for the Heaven-accessing Place this year, and the standard had been raised to an international level. What assembly would Ling Yun attend now?
"Well, it seems that this year's Warriors' Assembly is different from previous years. This time, not only the Jiangnan Society, but the other provinces' Jianghu Societies will also hold the Warriors' Assembly tomorrow. It seems to be promoted by the Seventeenth Department. They want to select some experts from the various provinces' Jianghu Societies and give them great benefits and rewards."
Although Zhu Wuxia was the leader of the intelligence organization, she could not get the intelligence of the Heaven-accessing Place at her level, so she did not know the inside story very well.
As soon as Ding Ning heard it, he immediately understood what was going on. The number of places to enter the Heaven-accessing Secret Area was limited, and there was also a restriction on cultivation. For the Ancient Martial World, the more places there were, the better.
But for the National Martial Arts World, it was more embarrassing. After all, there were very few people in the National Martial Arts World who could reach the level of guru. Even if there were only two or three hundred people in the National Martial Arts World, they might not be able to get enough guru.
In desperation, the National Warrior's Mansion could only hold the Warriors' Assembly in advance nationwide, which was equivalent to an audition, in order to get enough guru quota.
Of course, it was impossible for the National Warrior's Mansion to do such a thing in person, so they could only ask the Seventeenth Department to promote this matter.
Ding Ning felt a little sad for the National Warrior's Mansion. There were more than one billion people in Shenzhou, but they could not even get hundreds of guru, which was a great sorrow.
"Okay, I got it. By the way, will the Warriors' Assembly still be held in Gusu?"
Although Ding Ning figured out what was going on, he still felt very uneasy.
He couldn't figure out why he couldn't get in touch with his sister and the others. Even if they went to cheer for Ling Yun, it was impossible for all of them to turn off their phones, right? What was more, Gusu was so close to Ninghai that it was impossible for them to go there by plane, so it was even more unreasonable for them to turn off their phones.
"Well, it's still in Gusu."
Zhu Wuxia answered affirmatively.
Ding Ning nodded and turned to leave. At this moment, he was so anxious that he planned to go to Gusu immediately to see what was going on.
"Young … Young Master!"
Zhu Wuxia suddenly shouted timidly behind him.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? "
Ding Ning stopped, came to his senses, and asked in confusion.
Zhu Wuxia's face was flushed, and her eyes were a little evasive. She said, "Young Master, can you give me the phone number of your friend named Ning Ding?"
"What? Do you want to see him for something? "
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and asked with a faint smile.
"No … no, he once helped me, and I want to invite him to have a meal to thank him."
Zhu Wuxia felt that her mind had been seen through and said in a panic.
"Oh, I also helped you. Why didn't I see you invite me to have a meal? And you hide from me everywhere. "
Ding Ning said with a mischievous face.
"I … Young Master … I …"
Zhu Wuxia's face was so red that blood could drip out. She lowered her head and couldn't speak for a long time.
Ding Ning had something on his mind, so he was not in the mood to tease her anymore. He stretched out his fingers and lifted her delicate chin frivolously. He pretended to be fierce and said, "Remember, you are my maidservant. You are not allowed to like other men, even Ning Ding."
Zhu Wuxia's face was pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly. Her eyes dimmed little by little, and there were faint tears in her eyes. She said yes in a voice as low as a mosquito.
Seeing that she was so sad that she cried, Ding Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed her head and said, "Well, I'm joking with you. He is not in Ninghai now. When he comes back, I will help you make an appointment with him."
"Okay!"
Zhu Wuxia responded in a low mood. Now she only felt that Ding Ning was temperamental. She could not figure out which of his words was true and which was false. She felt that he was just fooling her.
"Well, you still don't believe my words. It's really strange. Am I not more handsome than Ning Ding?"
Ding Ning shook his head with a smile and muttered. Then he turned around and left.
Zhu Wuxia whispered softly, "You are more handsome than him, but in my heart, he is the most handsome one."
Ding Ning heard it clearly with his divine awareness. He rubbed his temples with a headache and thought shamelessly, "I didn't expect that I could pick up girls with such an ugly dress. Sure enough, my charm is unstoppable."
Returning to Shengshi Huating, Ding Ning picked up his mobile phone that was charging and found that a call from the Seventeenth Department made him feel very embarrassed.
Since he became the director of the Seventeenth Department, he had never gone there and completely became a hands-off boss. The most outrageous thing was that these days in the Kunpeng World, the Seventeenth Department had called him dozens of times. He had seen them before, but because he was worried about his sister and others, he also called them back.
Now that they called him again, he had to call them back no matter what.
"Youngest Martial Uncle, it's too difficult to call you, isn't it?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Heping's resentful voice came.
Ding Ning explained embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. Some time ago, I went deep into the forest to collect herbs, and there was no signal on my mobile phone. When I got home today, I found that my mobile phone was out of battery, so I put it in the bedroom to charge. I just saw your call."
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Heping knew that Ding Ning was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. It was reasonable for him to go into the mountain to collect herbs, so he did not doubt it.
"Director Zhang, what can I do for you?"
Ding Ning knew that his words were full of loopholes. Without giving him a chance to think carefully, he immediately went straight to the point.
"Oh, it's like this, Youngest Martial Uncle. Have you heard about the Warriors' Assembly in Gusu tomorrow?"
Zhang Heping did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Yes, I've heard a little, but I don't know the details."
Ding Ning said calmly.
"Here's the thing …"
Zhang Heping's words confirmed Ding Ning's previous speculation.
In this Warriors' Assembly, the National Warrior's Mansion offered extremely high rewards in order to lure those guru-level strongmen who did not like to show their faces to make a name for themselves and compete for the places to enter the Heaven-accessing Secret Land.
Originally, the Ancient Martial Arts Federation and the National Martial Arts Federation had reached an agreement and divided the places, but because of the strong protest of foreign martial arts practitioners, they had to redistribute the places by means of a martial arts competition.
In fact, the National Warrior's Mansion was very clear about the danger in the Heaven-accessing Secret Land. Previously, they did not care too much about the places and even hoped that there would be no places.
However, the National Martial Arts Federation represented the face of the National Warrior's Mansion. If there were too few places, the National Warrior's Mansion would lose face in the international martial arts world.
Therefore, the National Warrior's Mansion had to make this unwise decision. They held the Warriors' Assembly in each region in advance and selected guru-level strongmen to participate in the International Warriors' Assembly on the 18th. They tried their best to win some places that would not make the National Warrior's Mansion lose face.
Ding Ning also knew that the Ancient Martial Arts Federation seldom showed up in public. Generally, they cultivated in their respective sects. In the international martial arts world, the National Warrior's Mansion represented the face of the martial arts world of Shenzhou.
If the foreign martial arts practitioners did not participate in the Warriors' Assembly, it would be fine. But since they participated in it, the matter had been raised to the height of the face of Shenzhou Country. Even if the National Warrior's Mansion was unwilling to win the places to enter the Heaven-accessing Secret Land, they had to fight for it. Otherwise, they would inevitably be ridiculed by the western martial arts world.
Although Ding Ning was a hands-off boss, he was the director of the Ninghai Seventeenth Bureau after all. This time, the Warriors' Assembly in Jiangnan Society was under the full responsibility of the Ninghai Seventeenth Bureau. Zhang Heping definitely had to report to him and ask if he would attend the Warriors' Assembly tomorrow.
If it were in the past, Ding Ning would definitely not attend the Warriors' Assembly that he did not care about at all. But now Ling Yun represented half of the underground forces in Ninghai, so he definitely had to go and cheer for him.
Although Zhang Heping felt a little surprised, he was still very happy. Since this Youngest Uncle became the director of the Seventeenth Bureau, he had not even shown up once. He was so unreliable that the members of the Seventeenth Bureau were extremely dissatisfied and talked about him behind his back.
If it wasn't for Ding Ning's frighteningly powerful background, these people might have said some nasty things.
Although it was a good thing that the director delegated power, the other two deputy directors were not satisfied. Now they united to control the power and excluded him in every way, making it difficult for him to do anything alone.
Therefore, now Zhang Heping was eager to see Ding Ning show up in the bureau and support him so that the two deputy directors would restrain themselves.
After making an appointment to meet at the Seventeenth Bureau tomorrow and drive to Gusu together, Ding Ning hung up the phone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he hung up the phone, Zhang Heping called him again. Ding Ning thought that something had changed. After answering the phone, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
