Lian Yu really slept in Qi Ningxin's room that day, but Qi Ningyuan did not strangle him to death. Because Qi Ningyuan pretended to be Lian Yu and occupied Lian Yu's room. Because he was worried that someone would come to cause trouble for Qi Ningxin, Lian Yu hit the floor of Qi Ningxin's room. It's not that Lian Yu dared not go to bed to sleep, he was not afraid of Qi Ningyuan's actions to him. The wife he got could not fly away. He was just afraid that he could not control himself and wanted to wait for the wedding night before doing what he should do...

Qi Ningyuan pretended to be Lian Yu, entertained Han Chao and Ji Hongyu to drink, and discussed the next cooperation matters together.

"I am a junior. I'll listen carefully if you have any ideas for the two city lords." Qi Ningyuan said with a faint expression, with a layer of white cloth covering his eyes, and there was no flaw at all.

Ji Hongyu looked at Qi Ningyuan and asked, "I still have something to do with Ji, please help the city lord solve the problem."

"Please speak with Lord Ji." Qi Ningyuan nodded.

"Ji is thinking, since Qi Yuan and Qi Ningyuan care about Qi Ningxin and come to Lianwu City to find her, why did their grandparents and grandchildren not care about Qi Ningxin in Luoying City and escape on their own?" Ji Hongyu felt that something was wrong with this matter.

Qi Ningyuan smiled slightly and said, "I didn't understand this at first. However, Xin'er told me that when something happened in Luoying City, a secret guard arranged by Qi Ningyuan for her would take her away. As a result, he met someone blocking the road. The secret guard had no choice but to push her boat into the sea to prevent her from falling into the man's hand. The boat just floated to where I was. It was also fate. If it weren't for Lord Ji and Lord Han who rushed into Lord Ji and killed the enemy and let me stay on the boat to guard, I wouldn't have met Xin'er, so it was not that Qi Ningyuan ignored Xin'er."

Ji Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard this: "So that's it. It seems that Qi Ningyuan really cares about his sister, just like the rumors, but his sister is hidden deep enough and is not the same as him."

Ji Hongyu was a little suspicious of Lian Yu, but now after hearing Qi Ningyuan say this, after thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong. After all, it was him and Han Chao who decided to keep Lian Yu on the boat and not Lian Yu himself took the initiative to propose it. Lian Yu could not have predicted in advance that he would meet Qi Ningxin, it was just a coincidence.

Han Chao looked inexplicably and asked again: "Did Miss Qi say that when Qi Ningyuan took her away that night, who was blocking her halfway? At that time, all three of us went there. There seemed to be no other force in this Apocalypse Continent, right?"

Qi Ningyuan said with a faint expression: "Xin'er doesn't know who it is, but I'm sure now that it's from the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng."

Ji Hongyu and Han Chao looked at each other, and Ji Hongyu frowned slightly: "Why don't the Chen family help Qi Ningyuan, but instead want to kidnap Qi Ningyuan's sister from Qi Ningyuan's people?"

Qi Ningyuan said calmly: "This is actually easy to understand. Chen Ji just treats Qi Ningyuan as a chess piece and as his slave. Under his control, Qi Ningyuan is so capable, but it makes Luo Yingcheng so vulnerable, because he has no chance to strengthen his own power. Chen Ji'an must have been stuck in many spies around him, monitoring his every move. The person who wanted to kidnap Xin'er that night was naturally one of the spies that Chen Ji'an was stuck in Qi Ningyuan. Chen Ji's people should be very sure that Qi Ningyuan would not die in our hands, but he should be worried that Qi Ningyuan would take the opportunity to hide in the dark and escape from Chen Ji's control. Therefore, Chen Ji's people kidnap Xin'er just to get a hostage and continue to control Qi Ningyuan."

"What the city lord Lian said seems to make some sense." Han Chao nodded, "But Han is still a little confused. If Chen Ji wanted to use Qi Ningxin to control Qi Ningyuan, wouldn't it be easier to let Qi Ningxin live in Shuoshui City earlier on the grounds of taking care of Qi Ningxin?"

"Yes! Lord Han's words are reasonable." Ji Hongyu said, looking at Qi Ningyuan again, wanting to hear his explanation.

Qi Ningyuan was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly: "Liang has never thought about this. Now he thinks about it, but he is a little puzzled."

In fact, as the person involved, Qi Ningyuan knew best why Chen Ji did not let Qi Ningxin live in Shuoshuicheng. In fact, Chen Ji once mentioned that he asked Qi Ningyuan to send Qi Ningxin to Shuoshuicheng, saying that he would take good care of Qi Ningxin, and Shuoshuicheng also had a powerful doctor who could treat Qi Ningxin.

Qi Ningyuan refused at that time, saying that Qi Ningxin was in poor health and needed to rest. Qi Yuan was always taking care of her and didn't want to bother Chen Ji.

That time Chen Ji insisted, but Qi Ningyuan refused to let go. In the end, the price Qi Ningyuan paid for this was to hand over the treasure map of the Qi family to Chen Ji. Chen Ji got the benefit, so he no longer asked Qi Ningxin to live in Shuoshui City. Because although Qi Ningyuan was his pawn, he would never be too strict and would always hold a certain degree, so that Qi Ningyuan could not escape from control and would not be forced to rebel.

Although Chen Ji knew that Qi Ningyuan's rebellion would be a matter of time, he thought that such a thing would not happen in at least three to five years. What Chen Ji originally thought was not wrong. In fact, it was because Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan mixed into the Apocalypse Continent, which completely disrupted the situation here, and the six major families who could have been safe were reshuffled at a quick speed, which indirectly gave Qi Ningyuan a chance to escape from Chen Ji's control, which made Chen Ji's original plan disrupted.

However, Qi Ningyuan pretended to be "Lian Yu", so some inside stories should not be known, and he did not want to show that he could see through everything in front of Ji Hongyu and Han Chao. This would only make Ji Hongyu and Han Chao even more suspicious of him. Everyone is smart, but sometimes it is not a good thing to behave too smart on the outside.

Sure enough, when Han Chao heard Qi Ningyuan's words, he stopped asking anything, and said only: "We are afraid that we can't guess Chen Ji's thoughts."

"Since Qi Ningyuan is dead, the Qi family in Luoyingcheng is completely gone. What are the thoughts of City Lord Han next?" Ji Hongyu looked at Han Chaowen.

Han Chao chuckled: "I don't have any idea, but Han feels that if you lose the Qi Ningyuan piece, the Chen family can't continue to pretend to be a magic trick, right?"

Ji Hongyu nodded: "That's right! Ji suspected that the dragon flame flowers and treasure maps of our families, even the dragon flame flowers and treasure maps of the Qi family, were all in Chen Ji's hands! Our biggest enemy now is Chen Ji, but we know too little about the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng, so we should not act rashly."

Qi Ningyuan frowned: "After listening to the words of the two city lords, Lian was thinking, if Chen Ji had really obtained the treasure maps of the other five families, plus the Chen family, wouldn't he have the chance to open the treasure house of Xuanyuan's family on Yunzhong Island and get the treasure? By then, even if we unite, we are afraid we will not be a match for the Chen family."

After Qi Ningyuan finished speaking, Ji Hongyu and Han Chao's expressions were sunk! The legendary number and value of the Xuanyuan family on Yunzhong Island are immeasurable. Once there was a large dragon flame flower forest on Yunzhong Island. It is said that there were hundreds or thousands of dragon flame flowers hidden in the Xuanyuan family's treasure house. These alone were enough to make all of them crazy! This is also such an important reason for the treasure map of each family, but now all the treasure maps in their hands are lost, and the biggest possibility is that they all fell into Chen Ji's hands. Once Chen Ji successfully opened Yunzhong Island's treasure house, then these families would probably have no way to survive!

"Liancheng Lord means, will you fight Shuoshencheng now?" Han Chao narrowed his eyes at Qi Ningyuan.

Qi Ningyuan shook his head: "To be honest, I have no confidence in this, and I don't want to take action rashly when I know very little about the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng."

"What is the plan of the City Lord Lian?" Ji Hongyu looked at Qi Ningyuan and asked.

Qi Ningyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I learned something about the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng from Xin'er."

"Yes! Liancheng's main wife is Chen Ji's granddaughter. She should know the Chen family very well." Ji Hongyu's eyes lit up.

Qi Ningyuan nodded and shook his head: "The two city lords don't know that Xin'er is in poor health, and Qi Ningyuan doesn't want her to have too much contact with the Chen family, so she rarely goes to Shuoshui City. The last time she went there was three years ago. Most of her understanding of the Chen family comes from Qi Ningyuan, because Qi Ningyuan often talks to her."

"It seems that City Lord Lian has received a lot of useful information. Don't keep it a secret. Tell us quickly!" Han Chao said anxiously at Qi Ningyuan's voice.

Qi Ningyuan nodded: "According to the information Xin'er got from Qi Ningyuan, although the city lord of Shuoxue City is Chen Ji's only son Chen Yun, in fact, Chen Ji has always controlled all power, so Chen Yun is not in charge of Shuoxue City. You should all know who the city lord of Shuoxue City is. The woman named Feng Qingran is Chen Ji's adopted daughter. When she was young, she was the number one beauty in the Apocalypse Continent and the number one female master of the Apocalypse Continent. There were rumors that she was the orphan of the Xuanyuan clan in Yunzhongdao, but this has not been confirmed."

"We all know what the City Lord said. Can the City Lord even say something we don't know?" Ji Hongyu looked at Qi Ningyuan and said.

Qi Ningyuan said calmly: "Love in peace with the city Lord Ji. I only knew these things recently through Xin'er. I don't know which ones you know or what you don't know. Chen Yun and Feng Qingran gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son's name is Chen Zihuan, and the young master of Shuoshuicheng, but Xin'er had never seen him. Qi Ningyuan had dealt with Chen Zihuan, but he had never seen his true face. Chen Ji said that Chen Zihuan had a strange disease and could not see the light, but Qi Ningyuan thought that it was fake. Chen Yun and Feng Qingran's daughter was named Chen Ziling. But one thing you certainly didn't know is that Chen Yun and Feng Qingran also had a daughter who had been away for many years. She was only found from Tianyuan Continent last year."

"Miss Chen's family who has been wandering to the Tianyuan Continent?" Ji Hongyu looked inexplicably, "Is it twins? Why have you never heard of it?"

"Xin'er and Qi Ningyuan don't know why Chen Ziqing was away, and it was only found after so many years." Qi Ningyuan said, "However, just a few months ago, Chen Ji claimed that the two families of Chen Qi had a marriage contract and wanted to marry Chen Ziqing to Qi Ningyuan. But now Qi Ningyuan is dead, so the engagement naturally does not exist."

"Is there such a thing?" Ji Hongyu snorted lightly, "The Chen family is too deep, we didn't even hear any news."

"Also, Xin'er said that the so-called master of witchcraft around Qi Ningyuan is actually Chen Ji himself. The poison that Qi Ningyuan used to use was all given to him by Chen Ji, but Chen Ji did not teach him witchcraft." Qi Ningyuan said.

"It's normal. Chen Ji will definitely keep a move when dealing with Qi Ningyuan!" Han Chao snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect that the old monster is so powerful. After manipulating Qi Ningyuan behind the scenes for so many years, he is actually a master of poisonous poison!"

"So, we must be careful and not sit still and wait for death." Lian Yu said seriously.

"But even if we have a little understanding of the Chen family, Shuo Xuecheng's strength is definitely not as vulnerable as Luo Yingcheng, and it is even very likely that the defense is tight and solid. When we hit the door, there will be no good results." Han Chao said.

"If you can find a way to prevent Shuoxuecheng from being so closed, you can find an opportunity to open the door of Shuoxuecheng step by step." Qi Ningyuan sighed and said.

"What can I do? If the Chen family always hides in Shuoxue City, we can't do anything to them," said Ji Hongyu.

"Actually, I thought of an immature solution, maybe I can take the opportunity to test the Chen family." Qi Ningyuan said.

"Oh? What did the City Lord Lian think of? Tell me," said Han Chao.

Qi Ningyuan slowly said two words: "Marriage."

Ji Hongyu frowned: "Marriage? We marry the Chen family? How to connect?"

"Chen Ji happens to have two unmarried granddaughters of the right age. Young Master Han and Young Master Ji have not married yet," said Qi Ningyuan.

"Lian Yu, do you want both of us to marry Chen Ji's granddaughter?" Han Chao looked at Qi Ningyuan and became suspicious again, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

Qi Ningyuan said with a faint expression: "Chen Ji's granddaughter will soon become the lord's wife of Washi City. I have already obtained some news about Shuo Xuecheng through her and shared it with you. So, you don't need to doubt Lian, because Washi City is not going to be out of the matter, but has first developed a relationship with the Chen family."

"Even the city lord, don't think too much. City lord Han doesn't mean that. But even if we really go to marry, Chen Ji won't agree, right? The granddaughter and granddaughter are different after all." Ji Hongyu said.

"I think he may not refuse. After all, when his granddaughter grows up, he will get married. The two young masters are also talented, both civil and military, and they are considered to be a match. Chen Ji is so ambitious that he may think this is an opportunity to use the marriage to deal with us." Qi Ningyuan said.

"If this is the case, wouldn't we cause trouble for ourselves?" Han Chao snorted coldly.

"No." Qi Ningyuan shook his head, "We are talking about this now, so we will naturally be wary of what may happen next. If Chen Ji thinks this is an opportunity and wants to plot against us, it is also an opportunity for us, and we can deal with him in reverse. The two young masters want to marry Chen Ji's granddaughter, whether it succeeds or not, they will not suffer any losses. Once the marriage is completed, it is absolutely impossible for the Chen family to hide like before."

"It's true that you don't suffer any losses." Ji Hongyu has already begun to think about the feasibility of this matter.

Han Chao lowered his eyes and covered a faint light in his eyes. Outsiders didn't know that Han Chao had something that made him a headache, that was his son Han Yaozu, for some reason, had a strange disease, and that aspect of men was not good.

Han Chao found many doctors to treat Han Yaozu, but he was unable to cure him. But Han Yaozu must marry sooner or later. No matter whether he can do it or not, even if he is just for the sake of face, he has to marry him. The wife he married cannot be too bad in status, appearance and strength, but the background cannot be too strong. For example, the lady of the Ji family cannot marry. Once the quarrel is broken, if the Ji family supports her, it will be difficult to end at that time.

Han Chao was thinking at this moment that if Han Yaozu asked Han Yaozu to marry the Chen family, it would be a good thing if it really happened. First, Han Yaozu had a wife with a good background and both talented and beautiful. Second, the Chen family and the Han family were enemies, and Ji Han Lian and the three families had decided to deal with the Chen family, so they were not afraid of the girl they married making trouble, and they would not be able to give her a chance at that time.

Let’s take a step back, even if the proposal fails, it doesn’t matter. After all, they are the man and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Thinking of this, Han Chao said, "Han thinks that the plan of the City Lord Lian is feasible. Now we have no conflicts with the Chen family on the surface. After all, the Chen family is not the Qi family, and Chen Ji cannot avenge Qi Ningyuan. It is normal for families to marry each other. We send people to ask for marriage. No matter what the result is, we will not suffer any loss anyway! If it is really done, how can the Chen family hide in the future? Chen Ji wants to plot against us, but this time we will start calculating him first. Then it depends on who has the better means. I don't believe that our three families are not his family!"

Ji Hongyu was silent for a moment and said, "If City Lord Han thinks it is feasible, the Ji family is also considered one. As City Lord Lian said, we will send someone to marry the Chen family lady to see how Chen Ji reacts!"

"But the two ladies of the Chen family, how do we divide the two families?" Han Chao asked.

"I heard from Xin'er that the two ladies were both very beautiful, but Chen Ziqing broke her arm when she was retrieved from Tianyuan Continent." Qi Ningyuan said.

"Crazy?" Ji Hongyu frowned, "So, Chen Ji had wanted to marry a disabled granddaughter to Qi Ningyuan before? He was really cruel to Qi Ningyuan."

"How to separate the two city lords? Why don't you discuss it? Anyway, this is just to deal with Shuo Xuecheng. When we destroy Shuo Xuecheng, aren't the two Chen ladies still allowed us to deal with it? So in fact, whether they are disabled or not is disabled is not much of an obstacle." Qi Ningyuan said.

"Then just draw lots." Han Chao said.

In the end, Han Chao and Ji Hongyu really used the lottery to decide which Miss Chen to marry. Han Chao was not lucky and caught the disabled Chen Ziqing, while Ji Hongyu caught Chen Ziling. However, Han Chao thought about his son who was equivalent to a disabled person, so he reluctantly accepted it and said nothing.

In this way, Ji Hanlian's three families have already decided on how to cooperate next. The first step below is that the Ji family wants to marry Chen Ziling for Ji Yi, and the Han family wants to marry Chen Ziqing for Han Yaozu, so as to test the Chen family and wait for an opportunity to open the door of Shuoshuicheng.

When Qi Ningyuan met Lian Yu again, he told Lian Yu about the content of his conversation with Han Chao and Ji Hongyu.

After hearing this, Lian Yu chuckled: "Do you hate the two ladies of the Chen family? This time he actually plotted against them."

"Just two bitches." Qi Ningyuan snorted softly, "Chen Ziqing is still a disfigured and disabled person, and her brain is also disabled. I kindly find a home for her, and she should thank me."

"This, she may not be able to thank you." Lian Yu remembered something and said to Qi Ningyuan inexplicably, "Because the husband you chose for Chen Ziqing is also a disabled person."

"Han Yaozu? Although his legs were broken by your father back then, they were already well and basically couldn't tell. Compared with Chen Ziqing, they are not disabled, and they are more than enough to match Chen Ziqing." Qi Ningyuan said.

Lian Yu shook his head: "I'm not talking about legs."

"What is that?" Qi Ningyuan realized that there seemed to be something about Han Yaozu, he didn't know much about it.

Lian Yu said meaningfully: "Han Yaozu is a disabled man."

Qi Ningyuan instantly understood what Lian Yu was saying. He asked with a smile: "Is it your family's trick? It's so poisonous!"

"No." Lian Yu shook his head, "It was my friend's move."

Qi Ningyuan was stunned for a moment: "Xiaohua? I remembered it! That time we were all in Poyang City. Han Yaozu tried to tease Xiaohua, but in the end she was kicked into the lake by her man! Unexpectedly, they even poisoned Han Yaozu secretly, but Han Yaozu deserved it!"

"How likely do you think Chen Ji agreed to the two families to propose marriage?" Lian Yu asked Qi Ningyuan.

"80%." Qi Ningyuan sneered, "Chen Ji doesn't care about his two granddaughters at all. If he could use them, he wouldn't refuse. This is a good opportunity for him to attack the Ji family and the Han family."

"Then how likely do you think the Ji family and Han family can escape from Chen Ji and successfully fight back?" Lian Yu continued to ask.

"30%." Qi Ningyuan said.

"Then you will disrupt the three of them at that time, take advantage of the troubled waters and successfully destroy the Chen family?" Lian Yu asked again.

Qi Ningyuan thought for a while, then said, "It's only 50% at most."
