"Lezi, why are your hands so cold? Come on, come here and warm yourself up." Yang Ning frightened and took little Lezi's hand to the charcoal basin to warm up.

"It's okay, I'm fine with my practice," Xiao Lezi said lightly, following Yang Ning and sitting down next to the charcoal basin.

Speaking of practicing, Yang Ning's heart thumped: It turned out to be the "Broken Jade Book" that caused the trouble. No wonder the feeling of seeing Xiao Lezi this time was different from the last time he met him in the Ancestral Temple. When the moon was less than a month old, Xiao Lezi felt a little colder than before. This coldness came completely from his bones, revealing a kind of aloofness that would repel others thousands of miles away. chill.

Damn, this shabby book is really evil.

"Lezi, you have broken through to the fourth level by practicing that book," Yang Ning asked tentatively.

"Yes," Xiao Lezi nodded lightly.

Yang Ning said with some worry: "Lezi, you don't feel any discomfort if you practice that thing. If,,, if it really doesn't work, let's stop practicing. I'm afraid if you continue to practice, your whole body will turn into ice."

Xiao Lezi smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm fine,"

Yang Ning was still worried, "Lezi, promise me, if you feel something is wrong, you will stop practicing. Your current skills are already very powerful in my opinion. There is no need for us to pursue the best in the world."

Xiao Lezi nodded slightly again, but a hint of fanatical determination and persistence flashed deep in his eyes.

Yang Ning sighed, but did not persuade him again. Everyone has his own ideals and pursuits when he is alive. Xiao Lezi is different from him. She has become a physically disabled person now. Perhaps, for The pursuit of martial arts can replace the shortcomings and emptiness in his life.

"Lezi, you haven't told me yet, why did you come to the grassland," Yang Ning asked.

Xiao Lezi thought for a while and then said: "I heard from Shui Ling in the palace that you left Shanxi and entered the grassland and came to negotiate with me. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I rushed to Datong at night. After arriving in Shanxi, I happened to meet Zhang Weinian. I knew you were there. People were chasing you in the grassland, so I followed them to the grassland to look for you, and then I met you here,"

It turns out that the news that she came to the grassland on behalf of Wang Chonggu has spread back to the capital. That girl Ling'er doesn't know how to worry about herself, um, and Princess Yongning and Concubine Li.

"Lezi, does Princess Yongning know that you left the palace and came to Shanxi?" Thinking of Princess Yongning, Yang Ning asked.

Yang Ning originally thought that it must be Princess Yongning who sent Xiao Lezi out of the palace to find her, but Xiao Lezi shook her head and said, "She doesn't know, and no one knows that I left the palace."

"What?" Yang Ning stood up in shock.

A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Lezi's eyes, and he stared blankly at Yang Ning.

"Then, how did you get out of the palace?" Yang Ning felt that she was overreacting, so she sat down again and said in a slower tone.

"I,,,I sneaked out, the guards didn't notice me...," Xiao Lezi lowered his head and muttered.

Damn it, this kid actually sneaked out. Are all the guards in the palace just for food? Isn’t it like entering and exiting the palace without anyone else? He has only practiced the manual to the fourth level, but he already has it. So awesome.

"It's fun, I find that you are really getting better and better," Yang Ning sighed.

"What is a cow?" Xiao Lezi suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Cow..., uh, it's a cow's hooves, I think you're awesome," Yang Ning explained casually, then happily patted Xiao Lezi on the shoulder and said: "Haha, no matter what, good brother, you're here, here you are. That's good, I will send someone to call you if you don't come, you know..." Yang Ning lowered his voice again and whispered in Xiao Lezi's ear with a mysterious face: "I asked you to come to help me handle something. It's a big matter, this matter needs to be kept extremely confidential, I don't trust anyone except you,"

"Who to kill?" Xiao Lezi said with a murderous look on his face.

This murderous aura startled Yang Ning. When did this little kid learn to have such a murderous aura? He hurriedly said: "I'm not asking you to kill people, well, that's not right either. You may need to kill someone at a critical moment. Oh, that's what happened. …,”

Yang Ning then whispered to Xiao Lezi in detail about Zhao Quan's redemption of his life with a huge amount of gold and silver treasures, and finally said excitedly: "Lezi, if this thing is done, we will make a fortune,"

Xiao Lezi's reaction was very calm, and he just nodded slightly to express his approval of Yang Ning.

This kid was much more promising than himself, and Yang Ning couldn't help but feel ashamed in her heart.

"Lezi, this matter can only be handled by the two of us. You must keep an eye on Zhao Quan. After the matter is completed,..." Yang Ning said this and made a beheading gesture. In fact, he had no intention of letting Zhao Quan live from the beginning. Even if he verbally agreed to Zhao Quan, he kept his word, which was not what he said to someone like Zhao Quan.

Xiao Lezi pursed his lips, and the chill on his body immediately became a little more intense.

Nuo Min thought very carefully and sent someone to bring a sumptuous meal of wine and meat, which was enough for Yang Ning and a dozen guards to enjoy. Yang Ning called Zhang Weinian and others, gathered around the felt tent and drank happily. Xiao Lezi took the initiative to look after Zhao Quan in the tent next door. Zhang Weinian knew about the relationship between Yang Ning and Xiao Lezi and felt very sorry. He wanted to send two brothers to take over Xiao Lezi several times, but Yang Ning stopped him every time. He ordered wine and meat to be sent to Xiao Lezi.

During the dinner, Zhang Weinian told Yang Ning that he had returned to Datong and told Wang Chonggu, Ma Gui and others about the Tumote chaos. Wang and Ma were overjoyed. If they had not known that their troops were insufficient, they would have been defeated long ago. Taking advantage of the chaos, they went north to the grassland and wiped out the Anda Khan tribe in one fell swoop. After discussion, they still followed Yang Ning's instructions and only sent a small group of cavalry to harass the Jirat tribe in order to contain them from sending troops.

"Didn't you meet Ding Sheng on the way?" Yang Ning asked strangely.

"No, what's wrong? I've been wondering how I came here to see Ma Wu and Ding Sheng," Zhang Weinian asked strangely.

"That's it..." Yang Ning told the story about how Jirat's troops did not rebel, but instead joined the counter-rebellion army, and he sent Ding Sheng back to Datong to inform Ma Gui to stop the harassment.

Zhang Weinian suddenly realized: "What I'm talking about, why does it feel like this Mongolian army has been replaced this time?" Then he said with regret: "What a pity, my men and horses were involved in the civil strife this time." The loss will not be big, otherwise, it will greatly reduce the pressure on our Ming Dynasty's northern frontier."

Yang Ning smiled slightly and was noncommittal, but he knew in his heart: I am afraid that except for himself, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty would have such thoughts.

After all the guards drank and left, Yang Ning came to the tent where Zhao Quan was locked up, but the scene inside the tent couldn't help but surprise him.

I saw Xiao Lezi sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, looking like he was practicing martial arts, while Zhao Quan was huddled in a corner of the tent, trembling all over, looking at Xiao Lezi with horror.

Hearing someone come in, Xiao Lezi slowly opened his eyes and said hello to Yang Ning.

As soon as Zhao Quan saw Yang Ning, he seemed to have seen a savior. He crawled to Yang Ning's side, babbling and shouting something to Yang Ning with his mouth open, but he couldn't say anything.

Yang Ning couldn't help but be dumbfounded. How could Zhao Quan become mute in just a short time?

"Lezi, what's wrong with this guy," Yang Ning asked in surprise.

Xiao Lezi glanced at Zhao Quan coldly and said, "I was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so I slapped him and temporarily made him mute."

Yang Ning said in surprise: "Point the dumb point, holy shit, this is a good method." He couldn't help but secretly praise Xiao Lezi for his thoughtfulness. This way, he could prevent Zhao Quan from giving treasures to others at will in exchange for his life.

Xiao Lezi shook his head and said seriously to Yang Ning: "It's not acupuncture, it's just that I used the ice energy to freeze his vocal cords."

"Oh oh oh, it's all the same, it's all the same, hehe," Yang Ning felt embarrassed for his superficial knowledge, "Lezi, now you untie him first,,, uh, untie him first, then talk, I have something to say. He said,"

"Okay," Xiao Lezi agreed. Before he could see how he acted, his whole body floated away, like a ghost. He came to Zhao Quan in an instant, patted him on the back, and Zhao Quan said "Wow" , he opened his mouth and spat out a piece of steaming ice. Although he knew that Xiao Lezi would never do this to him, Yang Ning couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

"Yang, Eunuch Yang, please help me..." As soon as Zhao Quan could speak, he hugged Yang Ning's legs and shouted in horror, then pointed at Xiao Lezi and said: "He, he, he is not a human being, you Let him get out quickly, get him out,,,"

Xiao Lezi looked at Zhao Quan coldly without saying a word. Yang Ning was quite helpless. What did this kid do to Zhao Quan to scare the child like this?

Yang Ning patted Zhao Quan's back comfortingly and said: "Don't be afraid, be quiet, he won't hurt you, Lezi, you go out first,"

Seeing Xiao Lezi turn around and walk out of the tent, Zhao Quan's expression became better, but his eyes were still a little dazed.

"Hey, Zhao Quan, do you still want to live?" Yang Ning patted Zhao Quan on the back and said.

"Ah, ah, think about it, think about it, of course I have," Zhao Quan woke up from his dementia state and nodded hurriedly to Yang Ning.

Yang Ning frowned and said, "That's right. After our discussion last time, I was very worried about one thing. Among those prisoners, it is difficult to find someone who looks like you. Even if you can barely find one, the guards who were watching over you before I am already familiar with your appearance, so how can I take you in person?"

Zhao Quanyi frowned and said: "I told you, I'll just kill him and silence him."

Yang Ning shook his head and said, "No, I can't do such a thing."

"Hmph, a woman's kindness," Zhao Quan said scornfully. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Yang Ning in panic: "You,,, you shouldn't have asked the person just now to accompany you to get the treasure, right? "

Yang Ning smiled and said: "That's right. You have seen his skills, so I advise you not to play any tricks on the road."

Zhao Quan's expression was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth after a long time and said: "In this case, I admit defeat, and I can tell you that now in my palace in Kaihua City, there is a substitute that I have trained for many years, and his appearance can almost be real. You You can ask your subordinates to replace me, and I don’t need to teach you the rest."
