Chapter 197: The mysterious Aji

Chapter 197 The mysterious Aji

"How did you get the news?" Qin Sanlang clenched the dagger in his hand and still pointed the tip of the dagger at the back of Ah Ji's neck: "Who did you seek refuge with in Dayong?"

Ah Ji paused for a moment and couldn't help but turn around and look at Qin Sanlang. This young prince had a face that didn't match his thoughts at all, but his eyes matched his thoughts very well. They were both so profound. sharp.

After Aji looked at Qin Sanlang for a while, he laughed out loud, but he just smiled and did not answer Qin Sanlang's words. Qin Sanlang's words were a trap, and he would only answer them if he was stupid.

He just said: "Aji has his own channels for news, but these channels cannot be spread to outsiders. The young Marquis understands these rules, so don't embarrass Aji."

When Aji said this, he always used the name Aji instead of Ning. He was telling Qin Sanlang and the others that the matter of him coming to them, including the source of the information, had nothing to do with the Ning family.

 Qin Sanlang and the others heard it.

Mr. Qin couldn't help but ask: "Does Mr. Ning have any plans with you? Did you leave the Ning family on purpose?"

 Want to leave a way out for the direct descendants of the Ning family?

 In the early days of dynasty changes, some far-sighted families would expel a legitimate son from the family in order to preserve the family's direct bloodline, in order to leave a root for the family in the event of a catastrophic genocide.

 Ke Aji left home more than ten years ago. At that time, Emperor Jingyuan had not yet ascended the throne, and the Chu State was booming. No matter what Old Man Ning did, there was no way he would banish his youngest son from the capital and make him a marginalized figure.

"General He is overly worried. It is Ah Ji's wish to leave the Ning family." Ah Ji said with a smile: "The Ning family has my eldest brother, second brother and third brother, as well as several capable nephews. There is no shortage of Ah Ji. Moreover, Ah Ji does not like the extravagance of the rich and powerful in the capital, nor does he like the disputes in the court. He only likes to travel among the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers."

 Everything was done that he didn't like and had nothing to do with the Ning family.

"What's the third news?" Seeing that Qin Sanlang couldn't figure out the reason why Ning Ji left the Ning family, he simply skipped it and asked about the third news.

"The third news is that there is a traitor among the so-called old friends of your two families." A Ji said.

"Traitor? Who is it?!" Qin Erlang was originally immersed in the bad news that the British government abandoned their family and let the third lady enter the palace. After hearing the third news, he woke up and asked Aji.

Ah Ji still shook his head: "A Ji doesn't know. I just know that the big reason why your family will suffer such a disaster is because of that traitor."

 After a pause, he added: "Maybe several."

"Why? Why did they do this?" Qin Erlang couldn't believe what he heard: "What can our family do to them? Why do they want to destroy our family?!"

Many of those old friends and old tribesmen were promoted by their families, but the reason why their family was punished by three tribes was because of the betrayal of these old friends and old tribes.

Qin Erlang couldn't accept the third news at all... He didn't want to stay in the countryside. He wanted to go to the northeast. He wanted to join his old friends and allies, win over them, and avenge his family.

Now that he heard this news, who else could he turn to?

Facing Qin Erlang's grief and indignation, Ah Ji downplayed it: "Who knows? Maybe they think that as long as you two are destroyed, they can ascend to power and have a taste of being a Duke or a Marquis."

He added: "Ah Ji told you this news to remind you not to believe in all the old friendships between your two families. If you believe it, going to them will be like throwing yourself into a trap."

But...General Liu, the guard of Yangji Mansion, is reliable.     But he would not tell them this. If he told him, Qin Sanlang would definitely notice the clues and ask him how he knew that General Liu had not betrayed their family.

 It’s too troublesome to explain, so it’s better not to say anything. Anyway, they will know about it later and run to General Liu.

However, Qin Sanlang still doubted him.

A Ji felt a sudden pain on the back of his neck. The tip of the dagger had pierced the skin on the back of his neck, and a few drops of blood came out from the back of his neck.

 “Who are you? Why do you know these things?”

Qin Sanlang pressed Aji: "You know about the third lady of the British government, forget it. But how did you know that an uncle in our family survived? And how did you know that there was a traitor in our old friend's tribe? Could it be that there is a traitor in our old family. Are you from the emperor? Or were you involved in dealing with our two families? Otherwise, how did you know about these things? "

 How could we know these two such important news without real in-depth participation?

"What are your intentions in coming to us to show your kindness? If you want the lives of the three of us, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush like this. Anyway, the three of us are just isolated soldiers. As long as you go to Fucheng and say Once the defenders arrive, no matter how brave we are, we will not be able to escape."

A Ji felt a little annoyed when he heard Qin Sanlang's words. This young Marquis is really someone who doesn't trust people easily. At this moment, he can still ask these questions clearly and clearly, and he is talking about every key word.

"Little Marquis, Ah Ji has already said what should be said. What shouldn't be said, Ah Ji will not say it no matter how much you ask." Ah Ji looked at Qin Sanlang and said calmly: "Ah Ji is right You don’t have bad intentions, if the young Marquis doesn’t believe it, you can kill Ah Ji now.”

Qin Sanlang frowned, this Ah Ji actually bet with him with his life.

 Qin Sanlang did not take action. If he killed A Ji, their "grandfather and grandson", including the third grandfather and his family, would all die.

Seeing that Qin Sanlang didn't make a move, Aji smiled gently: "The young Marquis has doubts in his heart, Aji knows it, but these doubts will be solved one by one in the future, and the young Marquis doesn't have to worry about it now. As long as the young Marquis Please remember, as long as Ah Ji has no intention of harming you."

 Qin Sanlang did not speak. This Ah Ji knew too much important news. The Ning family is just an uncle's house. The family mainly relies on armaments to make a living. They are not very talkative in the court. Ning Ji is just a businessman. How did he know this news?

Ning Ji had so many secrets that Qin Sanlang couldn't believe him.

 But for them, for the sake of several family members, Qin Sanlang couldn't kill him.

"The Ning family will make a jade pendant for every male. Give us your jade pendant and we will believe you." Qin Sanlang said.

When Ah Ji heard this, his expression became really bad. He knew that Qin Sanlang was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would be so cunning.

“Little Marquis, this trip was done by A Ji alone. You cannot drag the entire Ning family into trouble.”

A Ji refused to hand over the jade pendant that represented his identity. He turned to Old Qin and said, "General He, please forgive me. The Ning family's pendant is related to the safety of the entire Ning family. A Ji cannot hand it over."

Mr. Qin also felt that Sanlang's request was too much, so he said: "Sanlang, forget it."
