Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Zhu Bufan raised his hand and waved it, ordering someone to remove the mechanism.

She let Zhu Bufan's men tie her up.

Seeing her cooperation, Zhu Bufan scratched his head and said regretfully, "If I had known you would cooperate so well, I wouldn't have set up so many traps. What a waste."

Knowing that Jiang Ningwan was difficult to catch, he spent almost all his family assets.

"Who told you not to inform me in advance?"

"Where did that person ask you to do the transaction? Let's go." Jiang Ningwan urged.

Zhu Bufan was stunned. "Why are you more anxious than me?"

"I promised to help you investigate your father's death. Now that we have a clue, of course we can't let it go. Let's go quickly."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Zhu Bufan was still a little embarrassed. He took two steps and glanced at her, "How about I untie it for you?"

Jiang Ningwan dodged sideways and said, "No need, I can solve it myself."

"If I don't tie it up, the other party may not trade."

Zhu Bufan had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay."

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan and his group were tied up and taken to a remote mountain.

After passing through the bamboo forest, we came to a pavilion.

Zhu Xingtian sat down and waited, "The appointment is in the evening."

"I guess that person hasn't arrived yet."

"You sit and wait too."

Jiang Ningwan stood by, paying attention to the movements around her. Birds were flying in the dense forest in the distance.

"coming."

Zhu Xingtian was shocked.

The next moment, there was a sound from the bamboo forest, and a large number of masked men in black robes rushed in.

Qiqi stood not far outside the pavilion.

Zhu Xingtian suddenly stood up, "Who are you? What do you know?"

"I have captured the person you want. Now you can tell me the truth."

The masked man in a black robe at the head said in a low, hoarse voice, "Kill her now."

"I'll tell you the truth."

Hearing this, Zhu Xingtian frowned, "I've already captured the person for you, what are you still worried about? What if I kill her first and you don't say anything?"

The masked man in black robe suddenly took out a jade pendant, which made Zhu Xingtian's face change.

"This is my father's personal belongings, how come it is here with you?"

The black-robed man whispered, "Your father and I are close friends."

"I knew every step of his revenge, and when he died that day, I also knew what happened."

"Someone activated the mechanism in advance, causing his tragic death."

"As long as you kill her, I will tell you everything immediately."

Zhu Xingtian looked hesitant, picked up the sword, and brought it down on Jiang Ningwan's neck.

He gritted his teeth but couldn't bring himself to do it.

"No, if you want to kill me, do it yourself!" As he said that, Zhu Xingtian pressed Jiang Ningwan's shoulders and pushed her out with his internal force.

Flying towards the masked man in black robe.

The other party was also surprised.

The eyes beneath the mask revealed a hint of murderous intent. He immediately drew his sword, waiting for Jiang Ningwan's body to collide with him and kill him with one sword.

However, Jiang Ningwan had already untied the rope, and three silver needles flew out of her hand, hitting the black-robed man's chest.

The opponent was unable to dodge and was hit by three needles.

Suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.

His legs gave way and he used his sword to support himself on the ground to avoid falling.

Zhu Bufan's men quickly surrounded him.

He immediately started fighting with the man in black robe.

Jiang Ningwan stared at the man in black robe, gripped his sword tightly and launched an attack. The man was hit by the poison needle and gradually lost the battle. He was accidentally stabbed in the abdomen by Jiang Ningwan's sword.

Just when Jiang Ningwan was about to lift his mask to confirm his identity, suddenly there were dull footsteps all around.

A large number of people in black emerged.

The masked man in black robe immediately flew up to escape, but Jiang Ningwan slashed his back with a sword, leaving a long scar and tearing a corner of his clothes.

But someone came to rescue them, and Jiang Ningwan was dragged away and watched the man in black robe escape.

When fighting with one of the masked men in black, Jiang Ningwan felt a sense of familiarity when she met his eyes.

Xiao Fuxue suddenly ran to her side, "General, the army has gathered at the foot of the mountain."

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked at Zhu Xingtian worriedly. If the army came, no one from Tianji Pavilion would be able to stay.

"Zhu Xingtian, stop fighting, retreat!"

Before retreating, Jiang Ningwan picked up a piece of cloth on the ground.

Zhu Xingtian stopped pestering her and ran away with Jiang Ningwan.

Rushing down the mountain from the other direction, Jiang Ningwan asked, "Did you see clearly? Whose troops are down the mountain?"

"It looks like the Xuanwei Army."

Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly, "No wonder that person looked familiar, it turned out to be Qin Beihuang."

Zhu Xingtian couldn't help but ask, "Qin Beihuang? Is he the one wearing the mask?"

"No, the one wearing the mask should be Lu Lingsong."

She took out the piece of cloth and handed it to Zhu Xingtian, "This is the clothing he wears under his black robe. In the entire army, only the commander's clothes are made of this material."

Having been together in the military camp for so long, she was very familiar with what Lu Lingsong wore and would not make a mistake.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xingtian's face turned grim.

"Doctor Hong sent me a letter earlier saying that he had found some clues and that the murderer might be Lu Lingsong. I was a little skeptical."

"He's a great general with a large army under his command, why would he want to harm my father?"

Jiang Ningwan said quietly, "Harming your father is not the purpose. First, I want to use you to kill the King of Chu, and second, to kill the Second Prince of Dayan and provoke a war between the two countries."

"But he clearly knew that your father wanted to seek revenge on the King of Chu. He was able to incite your father to capture the Second Prince to threaten the King of Chu. Perhaps he also knew something about your grandfather's death."

After listening to this, Zhu Xingtian felt a little heavy-hearted.

"If he is my enemy, when will I be able to take revenge..."

This small Tianji Pavilion is not enough to fill the gaps in Lu Lingsong's army.

Jiang Ningwan patted his shoulder and said, "Since I promised you, I will help you to the end."

Hearing this, Zhu Xingtian was somewhat moved.

He raised his hand and placed it heavily on Jiang Ningwan's shoulder, "Thank you!"

"You're so nice!"

"I was impulsive today!"

"I always thought that a busy man like you wouldn't have the time to help me investigate my father's death, so I didn't hold out much hope."

"Don't worry, today's situation will never happen again! From now on, if you say go east, I will never go west!"

They came down the mountain unknowingly. Seeing that everything was safe, Jiang Ningwan said, "I do need your help with something."

Zhu Xingtian patted his chest and said, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

Jiang Ningwan lowered her voice and said, "I want you to help keep an eye on the forces in the martial arts world. Those that are relatively mysterious, very powerful, and have connections with the imperial court."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xingtian pondered for a moment, "I can't think of any sect that meets these conditions right now."

"No rush, just keep an eye on it for me."

Zhu Xingtian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you if I have any news."

Then the two sides parted ways here, and Zhu Xingtian took his men back to Tianji Pavilion.

It was already night, and Jiang Ningwan and others continued their journey back to Beijing.

As soon as she got onto the official road, a figure riding a horse appeared in front of her, as if waiting for her.

In the moonlight, Jiang Ningwan could see the man's face clearly.

Qinbei Desert.

After approaching, Qin Beihuang rode his horse slowly towards him, "Can we chat?"

"We have nothing to talk about."

Qin Beihuang's expression was solemn. "What is your relationship with those people in the Jianghu?"

He actually admitted it directly?

Jiang Ningwan's eyes darkened, "It turned out to be you who rescued Lu Lingsong."

She didn't hide it either.

Qin Beihuang looked anxious, "You knew it was Lu Lingsong who wanted to kill him? If he died, how would you explain it when you return to Beijing?"
