Chapter 598: Chapter 7: Entering Dongling City_2

What have I done to deserve such an honor, for the Inspection Office to specifically send people to greet me at the city gate?

Moreover, this is without any notification from me, without any confirmed news of my arrival.

Waiting for my arrival, how long have they been waiting?

With a curious expression in his eyes, he watched the two approach him directly.

"Greetings, Mr. Jiang!"

"Greetings, Mr. Jiang!"

The two immediately cupped their hands in salute.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning fully understood that these two were here for him, waiting early at the city gate for him.

On the other side.

Liu Guangqi, upon witnessing this scene, instantly widened his eyes.

"Isn’t he Scholar Jiang?!!"

"Why do these two officials call him ’Mr.’?!!"

The daughter of the Su Family beside him also looked dazed and confused.

"Old Liu, didn’t you say he was just a somewhat wealthy scholar?"

"Yes!" Liu Guangqi stared blankly at the people conversing ahead, muttering.

At this moment, he could clearly see how respectful those two were towards Jiang Ning.

Just like how he showed respect to his own master.

"Then what is the situation here?" the Su Family daughter asked.

"I... I don’t know either!" Liu Guangqi was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.

"Old Liu, didn’t you say you have a good relationship with him before?"

"At most, it’s just a passing acquaintance. How could it be considered a good relationship?" Liu Guangqi laughed at himself.

Seeing the respectful attitude of the two inspection office personnel towards Jiang Ning, he realized that his previous actions were unnecessary.

One should know that the weakest personnel in the Inspection Office is a Martial Artist with Martial Arts Entry.

To be shown such respect, how could he be just an ordinary scholar?

He must have a considerable level of martial skills.

"Old Liu, why didn’t I take the chance to befriend him earlier?" The Su Family daughter, looking at the scene at the city gate, felt a hint of regret in her eyes.

She continued, "If I had befriended him, with his status of commanding such respect from the Dongling City Inspection Office personnel, it would surely give me an advantage in the family struggles."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangqi recalled the words his own lady had just said to him, and he fell silent.

On the other side.

After having a brief conversation with the two Dongling City Inspection Office personnel, he also understood their intention.

It was Hong Minghu who notified Dongling City.

And the reason Hong Minghu notified the Inspection Office of Dongling City was to have them pass a message to him.

Because something significant related to him happened in Luoshui County.

Wang Jin had an accident, sustained serious injuries, and his tendons and bones were broken.

Normally, such injuries would leave someone crippled.

"Thank you both for informing me!" Jiang Ning took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Mr. Jiang, you’re welcome!" The leader among them cupped his hands and continued, "The message has been delivered, and I must return to report now!"

"Alright! Take care!"

Watching the two as they departed into the distance.

"Hurry, hurry! You all should move along!" The soldiers guarding the city gate no longer checked the vehicles ahead of Jiang Ning, nor did they bother collecting entrance fees, but instead urged them to quickly pass through and not block the gate.

Meanwhile.

"Brother!" Jiang Li called out standing beside Jiang Ning.

He had just listened to the entire conversation between Jiang Ning and the two Inspection Office personnel and knew what had happened in Luoshui County.

"What’s wrong, brother?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Brother, should we head back now?" Jiang Li questioned.

"No need to go back!" Jiang Ning shook his head slightly.

Then he looked towards the city gate, where the vehicles ahead had all entered the city.

"Let’s enter the city first!" he said again.

"Alright!" Jiang Li nodded, then asked again, "But brother, what about your master?"

"I’ll settle all of you first, and then I’ll go back alone! With my speed, I won’t take too long by myself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning, stunned.

The journey from Luoshui County was one he was very familiar with.

Although the carriage was slow, it took a full five days.

Yet this five-day journey was described by his younger brother as taking only a few hours.

"What exactly is brother’s level of strength?" Jiang Li pondered this thought.

Then he slowly nodded, "Alright, we will follow brother’s arrangements."

Meanwhile.

Even though all the carriages in front of Jiang Ning entered the city, leaving the road ahead wide open while carriages queued behind, the soldiers at the gate dared not rush.

They had just witnessed how the two Inspection Office personnel treated this young man.

They knew very well that these two had waited at the city gate for a whole day for this young man.

Having waited nearly a whole day, they finally met Jiang Ning.

For such a commotion, how could they dare offend such an important person?

"Let’s enter the city!" Jiang Ning said, looking at the wide roads ahead.

"Alright!" Jiang Li quickly nodded.

Then.

The two carriages passed through the thick city walls.

Walking along the road, Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.

The incident with Wang Jin was beyond his expectations.

He did not expect Yu Manyun to arrive in Luoshui County right after he left.

He speculated that the woman who injured Wang Jin was Yu Manyun, based on information provided by Xiao Emei.

Among the potential enemies he had offended, Yu Manyun was both the most likely and the one with motive and capability.

At this point, he felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunate that Yu Manyun arrived a few days late.

If Yu Manyun had arrived a few days earlier, he might have been at Luoshui Lake at that time.
