Better to live forever [Rebirth]

"Will you listen?"

Zhu Dingbei thought, no one can reject Ning Heng's words.

His expression could not be seen clearly in the dark, but the earnestness and delusion-like care in his tone touched Zhu Dingbei's few soft nerves.

Zhu Dingbei took a breath and said softly, "I'm listening."

He said, resting his hands behind his head and relaxing his body.

A sense of exhaustion surged in his heart, not for Ning Heng, but for himself.

He was originally a person who didn't like schemes and calculations. Zhu Jiaerlang was born upright, and he never thought of using his wisdom in his previous life on "his own people".He does things directly, and his strategy is only against the enemy. He never thought that one day he would be so worried.

Being with Ning Heng is very comfortable, having his "news" can make things easier for him, so let it be his selfishness.Since he was reborn at the age of nine, he has been tense all the time. If there is someone who can give him a breather, let him...be selfish for a while.

Ning Heng didn't notice his wandering mind, and only thought his silence was to listen attentively, so he said, "Do you still remember Qian Hui?"

"Money regrets?"

Zhu Dingbei came to his senses when he heard the name.

How could he forget that he had only met once a few days ago, and he admired the other person's skill and demeanor so much that he even ran out of an olive branch, intending to let him enter the Zhenbeihou's residence.

But Ning Heng said before that it was related to him, but now he brought up Qian Hui. Could it be that the other party has something to do with the Zhenbeihou Mansion?

Ning Heng: "Since the Fengyun Casino farewell, in just seven days, he has been assassinated three times, one of which, if someone hadn't intervened, he would have died now."

"Who wants his life?"

Zhu Dingbei frowned, he turned sideways to face Ning Heng, and listened carefully to what he said.

Although Zhu's army is far away in northern Xinjiang, they are still very concerned about martial arts and new recruits.After seeing Qian Hui, he also thought about it carefully, and he really didn't have the slightest impression of this person's future actions.

Now Ning Heng told him that someone assassinated him.

Could it be that someone succeeded in the previous life?

So, who will kill him?An adopted son who is not valued by Dou Changdong, although he has martial arts courage and has a bright future, but it is not so eye-catching that his life is in danger, right?

Zhu Dingbei paused, and then asked: "Could it be that the person who assassinated him has something to do with the Zhu family?"

Ning Heng shook his head, afraid that he might not be able to see his movements clearly in the dark, and said in a low voice, "It's not the assassin."

"I have checked carefully, and there are two groups of people who assassinated him. One group is from Liangzhou, and the other group is Jianghu killers, and these killers are hired by the fifth son-in-law."

Zhu Dingbei was confused by him.

It's not surprising that Qian Hui was assassinated by visitors from Liangzhou. Even if he was not included as the adopted son of Dou Changdong, he still has some status in Liangzhou. place.And these people were able to force Qian Hui out of Liangzhou, wanting his life to avoid future troubles, it can only be said that Qian Hui was unlucky.

But how did the son-in-law get involved?

Ever since Tan Hualang became the son-in-law of the fifth princess Wei, it has appeared in his ears too frequently, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Ning Heng didn't play charades with him, and said in a straightforward manner: "Those Liangzhou people, they have the military badges of the Liangzhou garrison on their bodies, and they should be soldiers under Dou Changdong's command. As for why he traveled thousands of miles to assassinate his son, it has not yet been investigated. Ming. As for the Fifth Son-in-law, when the Killer Organization hired him, apart from his life, they were also asked to find something."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows, Dou Changdong really surprised him more and more.However, at this time, he was more concerned about the reason why Cheng Tianci attacked Qian Hui.

"What did you find out?"

"Ah."

Ning Heng moved, put his pillow and Zhu Dingbei's together, leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Qian Hui doesn't have many things on him, so it's easy to find. Among them is half a landscape sheepskin painting, printed with Sima Yu Chess' private seal."

"Sima Yuqi?!"

Zhu Dingbei straightened up and sat up, "Why is there still something about him? It's really haunting."

Ning Heng watched him sit for a while, then fell down again, cursed a few words, then turned to look at himself.Seeing that he was depressed, Ning Heng raised his hand and patted his head, and continued: "The parchment was cut open on purpose, and the other half is missing. As for why the fifth son-in-law wanted it, even at the expense of killing people to seize it, It should be what Miss Sima said to him."

"Qian Hui has an affair with Sima Yuqi?"

Zhu Dingbei's expression became pale, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. After Ning Heng rejected his opinion, his expression softened a little.

Ning Heng said: "Qian Hui should have obtained this by accident. If Sima Yuqi's private seal is not familiar to someone, he would not recognize it. Qian Hui doesn't know who it belongs to."

Zhu Dingbei listened, and pondered: "You said that this matter is related to me. It must be Qian Hui who has nowhere to escape and wants to ask my Zhu family for protection. Am I right this time?"

Ning Heng laughed, "Yes. He should come to visit tomorrow."

Zhu Dingbei understood.

It seems that in the previous life, Qian Hui should have died before the martial arts.I just don’t know whether he died in the hands of his adoptive father or was killed by that son-in-law...Wait, Sima Yuqi in his previous life had a great reputation, and now he is still sitting firmly in the position of state herdsman in Xianbei Prefecture, even if there are private belongings left on the money. Regret his hand, and it won't be the son-in-law.

So, perhaps Dou Changdong of Liangzhou in his previous life really wanted his adopted son's life, but this sheepskin painting may not become another reminder for Qian Hui.

Unexpectedly, he inadvertently added another life-and-death danger to Qian Hui.

And he met the other party in this life, and he showed kindness to him, which was exactly the case, and it just gave Qian Hui a chance.

The causal cycle is really wonderful.

Zhu Dingbei folded his arms in thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Ning Heng, "Is that sheepskin painting already in your hand?"

After asking this question, Zhu Dingbei was already somewhat certain, but Ning Heng said, "My subordinates have made a copy, and the original copy is still in Qian Hui's hands."

"I guess, he wishes you could take away this life-threatening talisman." Zhu Dingbei laughed gloatingly, not sympathizing with Qian Hui's tragic situation at all.He tapped his fingers, wondering if Qian Hui would offer this sheepskin painting if he came to seek refuge.

"Have you seen that painting? What's so special about it?"

Before busy thinking about Qian Hui's safety, Zhu Dingbei had to ask clearly about the secret of the painting, lest Qian Hui bring some hot potato into Zhenbeihou's mansion and cause trouble to his upper body.

"This half of the picture is just an ordinary landscape picture, maybe the mystery is hidden in the other half."

Ning Heng thought for a while and replied.

The people under him have already studied this roll of sheepskin, and there is nothing unusual about the pigments in order to find the interlayer. No matter from which angle, it is just an ordinary landscape painting with no hidden information.

Zhu Dingbei sighed and said: "Sima Yuqi is not a person who loves Danqing. It is not unusual to treasure a painting. Besides, he also painted landscapes on parchment and stamped his private seal. There is definitely a university knowledge here." If you let me take a look at the painting, maybe I can see something."

After fighting against that old guy for so many years, it can be said that he knows himself and the enemy. Others may not know him as well as Zhu Dingbei.

He was feeling sorry, so he listened to Ning Heng.

"I take it."

"... Tuohua?"

"Ah."

"Then what are you talking about, get it out for me!"

Zhu Dingbei patted Ning Heng's chest, scolded him angrily, and got out of bed to light the candlestick.

Shui Sheng, who was dozing outside the door, was awakened. Seeing that the room was lit with candles, he hurriedly asked what was the matter. Zhu Dingbei raised his voice and said, "Go back to your room and sleep, you don't need to keep watch."

"Master, you can't sneak up while Master Ning is asleep. It's time to go to bed at this time."

Shuisheng refused to leave, and tried to persuade him.

"Don't make noise, there is business."

Zhu Dingbei said that he simply didn't care whether he was guarding the door or not, as long as he shut up.He carried the candlestick and walked back to the bed, spread out the cloth Ning Heng handed over on the couch, and looked at it carefully by the candlelight.

"Heh, the painting skills are so rough, could it be that old Sima Yuqi drew it himself?"

Zhu Dingbei's tone was not serious, but he had already made up his mind.His face became serious, but he wanted to see what kind of treasure it was, worthy of Sima Yuqi's own drawing.

He looked at it for a long while without making a sound, Ning Heng saw that he was not paying attention, the candlestick was tilted, and the candle tears inside were about to leak into his hands, so he quickly took the candlestick over.Zhu Dingbei ignored him, picked up the cloth extension painting, and sat on the edge of the bed, facing the candle held by Ning Heng, looking at the pattern on the cloth, the more he looked at it, the more strange his expression became.

"how?"

Ning Heng couldn't help but ask him.

Zhu Dingbei: "...I just feel a little familiar."

Hearing this, Ning Heng moved his eyes away from his side face, and placed his gaze on the rubbing painting he held up with both hands. The landscape painting printed on the cloth is actually only a few scribbled strokes, and the outline of the landscape is drawn. superficial.But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

"like what?"

When Zhu Dingbei heard Ning Heng's question, his eyes flickered, he put down his hands and said, "I'm not sure, maybe I saw something similar in that local county chronicle."

Ning Heng took his words sharply: "You said yes, what Sima Yuqi drew was actually a place?"

"It's just that the painting is too ugly to see the real face."

Zhu Dingbei didn't deny it, but spat, rolled up the cloth and stuffed it under his pillow politely, lay down and said, "I'll keep it for you for a while."

Hearing the sound, Ning Heng bent his mouth, blew out the candle and placed it on the ground at the end of the bed, then lay beside him, and said, "If you want it, it's yours."

Zhu Dingbei laughed after hearing this, "Master Changxin is so generous, I won't be polite to you, so don't talk back afterwards."

Ning Heng stretched out his hand and pinched his face, before he slapped the money away, he stopped in time, and said in a low voice, "Go to bed first, you are already past the time to sleep."

"You can become sworn brothers with Shuisheng, there is a tacit understanding."

Zhu Dingbei snorted, but still closed his eyes obediently and stopped talking.

After a long while, Zhu Dingbei's sober voice suddenly sounded in the silence: "Aheng, you just said that the emperor asked the first emperor to marry a man? Who is it?"

Ning Heng hummed a little dullly, then cleared his throat to refresh himself, and replied, "I said it before."

said?

Zhu Dingbei thought about it for a while, and then he was a little uncertain:

"You mean, the accompanying reader who escaped death?!"
