The rough voice ruined the atmosphere and instantly destroyed the ambiguous and charming atmosphere.

Qin Yao was so angry that her eyebrows raised!

Guan Ning woke up in shock: "Something must have happened. I have to go out for a while. You stay home and take good care of yourself."

Having said that, he fled away, thinking to himself that he was being impulsive, impulsive. The poison in his body had not yet been cleared, and Qin Yao was also seriously injured and had not recovered. If he really did something, it would be too beastly!

"You..." Qin Yao wanted to say something but couldn't. She stamped her feet in anger. "Why didn't you come earlier or later? Why did you come at this time? I finally got Guan Ning to care about me so much. Sheng Qi, I will never let you go!"

"hiss!"

She gasped again and covered the wound, seeming to be in great pain. The charm she showed with her frown was simply amazing.

Outside the wing room.

"What's wrong?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows. He knew Shengqi. If it wasn't a big deal, he wouldn't be so anxious.

As expected, Shengqi's face looked solemn.

"Prince, something happened!"

"Seven of our shops were simultaneously shut down by the government today on trumped-up charges. A lot of our goods were confiscated, and even our workers were arrested!"

Hearing this, Guan Ning was shocked: "What did you say?"

"What crime is being charged?"

"Prince, the government says we've violated regulations and smuggled and evaded taxes, but when our people argue with them, they can't provide any evidence. They just want to seal up the business and even arrest people. They're totally unreasonable!" Shengqi was furious.

Guan Ning's eyes darkened and his knuckles turned white from being pinched.

He knew the government's true colors better than anyone else, but he had already paid the money he owed. So what was the point of closing down the store and arresting people? And so suddenly?

No, it should be someone who wants to set up Yipintang!

His eyes flashed: "Was the matter of Lotus Pier the day before yesterday investigated, or was it that Zhao Qing who did it?"

Sheng Qi said: "Prince, this is not clear yet. I have sent people to investigate and there should be news this afternoon."

"But our workers are in trouble. Once they are put in jail, they will suffer a torture worse than death."

He had been in the imperial prison and knew how terrible it was.

Guan Ning frowned and made a quick decision.

"Let's go to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

"Prince, wait a minute, wouldn't this be inappropriate? What if the other party is coming for you? Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?" Shengqi was worried.

"What's coming cannot be avoided. They work for Yipintang, so I can't just abandon them!" Guan Ning is domineering. He wants to seize Yipintang's goods and people without saying a word. He, Guan Ning, is not a pushover!

"Your Highness is kind and righteous, I admire you!" Sheng Qi bowed deeply.

Soon, Guan Ning led his men to leave Yipintang headquarters and planned to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire about the situation and see if they could rescue the person.

But just as he walked out of Yipintang's headquarters, he was blocked in broad daylight!

Wow!

Twelve strong-dressed men suddenly appeared on the wide bluestone street, blocking the road from the front and back. Judging from their posture and eyes, it was clear that they were definitely not ordinary people, and were even more threatening than the Liangzhou swordsman from the day before yesterday.

Shengqi and the masters of Yipintang were shocked and immediately prepared to draw their swords.

But he was stopped by Guan Ning. After all, if they took action on the street, it would definitely be investigated by the government, and the many secrets in Yipintang might be at risk of being exposed.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" His eyes were calm and scrutinizing.

A man in black tights walked out. He was 1.8 meters tall, very thin, but extremely capable and very oppressive. He was far from comparable to those burly men.

He didn't answer, but asked proudly, "Are you Guan Ning?"

"So what?" Guan Ning was neither humble nor arrogant, searching in his mind who these people might be, but it was obvious that these were not the subordinates that Zhao Qing and his second-generation rich kids could have.

"Then come with us." The man's words sounded more like an order than a negotiation.

This made Guan Ning immediately unhappy.

"What if I don't leave?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature dropped sharply in broad daylight.

The man in black tights looked at her coldly: "I will make you go in my own way."

Suddenly, Shengqi and others were furious. How dare they!

Guan Ning raised the corners of his mouth, three parts disdain and seven parts arrogance.

"Then you can give it a try."

In an instant, the scene was tense, and a murderous aura spread between the two sides. The masters of Yipintang, both openly and secretly, were ready to take action!

Shengqi's fists were clenched so tightly that they were crackling.

The man in black tights looked even colder and more disdainful. He took a step forward and was about to attack, but at this moment.

"stop!"

A voice sounded, like the sound of a clear spring hitting a rock, extremely pleasant to the ear, and with an indescribable nobility and heroism.

At first glance, you can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl.

Suddenly, several men in tight clothes were startled, bent down to look in a certain direction, and parted ways with great respect.

Who is it?

Guan Ning frowned and looked over, only to see that it was a carriage made of golden nanmu wood, extremely majestic, slowly approaching with great pomp.

"Prince Guan, I apologize for offending many of my people just now. I would like to apologize to you here." The mysterious man in the carriage spoke with a very clear and pleasant voice, which did not make people feel any bad impression.

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning, who wanted to teach them a lesson, didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and asked Sheng Qi and others to step back.

"Your master saved your life." He looked at the man in black clothes and then coughed violently out of habit. Whenever he was in front of outsiders, he would appear in such a sickly image.

Hearing this, the man in black suit was dissatisfied, but with the people in the carriage around, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Prince Guan, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we talk somewhere else?" The mysterious man spoke, but did not get off the carriage or reveal his identity, which was extremely mysterious.

"Who are you and why should I talk to you?"

"Since the real person doesn't show up, I don't think there's any need to chat." Guan Ning said lightly.

"That's right. Anyone who hides his head and shows his tail is either a rat or a villain!" Shengqi agreed.

The eight tightly-dressed men on the side had cold and unhappy looks in their eyes. It seemed that no one dared to speak to their master like that.

But the mysterious man was not angry, and said in a pleasant voice: "Haha, if Master Guan moves with me, won't you know who I am?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested. I have something else to do." Guan Ning was concerned about the workers at Yipintang and didn't want to delay, so he turned around and was about to leave.

The mysterious man in the carriage immediately said, "Are you planning to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to rescue someone?"

When these words were spoken, Guan Ning paused in surprise. How did he know?

"Who are you and what do you want to do?" He turned around, not sure what the other party was up to.

The mysterious man smiled softly in the carriage: "I have no ill intentions, but this is really not the place to talk. Why don't we talk somewhere else?"

Guan Ning was silent, staring at the carriage closely, as if he wanted to see through the barrier of the carriage and see clearly who was inside.

But unfortunately, nothing can be seen.

a long time.

In order to find out the truth, Guan Ning followed him.

The mysterious man's carriage drove into a peach garden in a quiet place in the capital. The garden was very large and full of peach blossoms, alternating between pink and white. The scenery was truly unique.

Guan Ning entered with his back foot.
