The Nie Mansion is located in the southwest of Qincheng. It is not luxurious, but it is very stylish.

More than fifty people from the Nie Mansion came out to greet them, and even the door was cleaned spotlessly, which shows how much Nie Nan values ​​Lou Xinyue.

"Hahaha, just in time for dinner."

"Come on, Brother Ning, Miss Lou, take a seat. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"

Guan Ning looked at the huge table of dishes that looked like a full banquet, and was dazzled. He said, "Brother Nie, you are too polite to prepare so many dishes."

"Then I will benefit from Xinyue's help." He joked.

Lou Xinyue was stunned when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look over. What does this guy mean?

"Hahaha, Brother Ning, I don't have many friends, and you are the most important. Naturally, I have to bring out the best wine and food to entertain you."

"You don't have to be polite here."

"Oh? You're welcome. To be honest with you, Brother Nie, I do have a small, unwelcome request." Guan Ning said with a smile.

"Brother Ning, please speak."

Guan Ning cleared his throat: "Ahem, um, are there any beauties in your house?"

He lowered his voice deliberately, but Lou Xinyue, who was sitting at the same table, could obviously hear it.

In an instant, Lou Xinyue's starry eyes turned three points colder.

"Um...this..." Nie Nan was embarrassed. He glanced at Lou Xinyue and saw that she had no intention of speaking. He wondered if he had guessed wrong. Were they just friends?

"This, Brother Ning, I really don't have it in my house."

"But if you like, after dinner, I can ask the servants to take you out to play."

"Hehehe, okay!" Guan Ning smiled slyly.

Lou Xinyue clenched her slender fingers under the table, her face as cold as the snowflakes outside the window, but she said nothing.

Guan Ning was very proud, and he wanted to see who could be more provocative!

The atmosphere between the two of them inexplicably began to become stalemate and cold, as if they were in a cold war.

After three rounds of drinking.

Nie Nan suddenly spoke and talked about business.

"By the way, Brother Ning, Miss Lou mentioned something in her heart and hoped I could help you with something. What is it?"

"Just tell me directly, and I will do it immediately tomorrow. As long as he is Miss Lou's friend, he is my Nie Nan's friend!" Nie Nan said very righteously.

Guan Ning put down his wine glass and became serious: "To be honest, I have some enemies in the capital, and that is why I was forced to leave my hometown."

"But I want to go back, so I want to get the support of the Ba people in Shu. I hope Brother Nie can give me some advice." He bowed sincerely, but not servilely.

"Oh?" Nie Nan was slightly surprised and glanced at Lou Xinyue.

Although Lou Xinyue was in a cold war with Guan Ning, this matter was serious after all, so her eyes also carried a hint of request.

"Brother Ning was forced to leave his hometown, and in the capital, so I'm afraid Brother Ning's enemy is not an ordinary person."

"Can you tell me who it is specifically? I, Nie Nan, still have some reputation in Shu. I can ask someone to be the middleman. How about you call it?" Nie Nan's expression definitely did not mean to save face.

Guan Ning was grateful and didn't want to lie to him, so he blurted out: "Ninety-five."

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue frowned, thinking that since he was speaking so directly, wasn't he afraid that the people of Shu would see him as a nuisance?

Nie Nan was horrified: "The Supreme Ruler?"

Guan Ning nodded.

Nie Nan sobered up instantly, his heart churning with emotions. It turned out to be the current emperor! Why had Ning Fei offended the emperor?

Then he revealed a bitter smile: "The person Brother Ning mentioned is really beyond my expectation."

"If it's your majesty, then I, Nie Nan, am worthless and I'm afraid I can't get involved."

"At least the ancestors must come forward to protect you, so that the emperor will be wary of you."

"Ancestor?"

"Yes, he is the ancestor of our Ba people, the most respected person in Shu. He is the ancestor obeyed by the seven branches of the Ba people and hundreds of thousands of people. His words are more effective than those of our governor. Every year, the imperial court will send a fleet to give gifts to the ancestor for the sake of peace in Shu." Nie Nan explained.

Guan Ning understood that this ancestor was equivalent to a patriarch. If he took action, the emperor would most likely turn a blind eye.
