After hearing Huang Qiong's words, the head of the Fan family looked at each other and several elders around him, and then stood up according to Huang Qiong's words. Seeing that everyone in the Fan family stood up, Huang Qiong smiled and said: "Is this right? This is not in the capital. There are too many etiquettes. The head of the family and I will get tired of each other. From now on, if I want to go out of the capital, Take some time to relax, the Fan family will definitely not be able to come."
After Huang Qiong said this with a hint of joking, he saw that the young emperor had no airs. The tension in the hearts of everyone in the Fan family was somewhat relieved. Of course, except for the head of the Fan family, there are also Fan Dao and Nangong Mei who are standing by. They all knew very well that although this young emperor had no airs, it would be a big mistake to think of him as a harmless good boy.
Moreover, this guy is very sophisticated. Even if he greets you with a smile in front of you, he may not kill you in his heart, but he may also intend to stab you twice. When he was the King of England, the Fan family had conducted a careful investigation on this master because of Fan Jian who had run away from home, and they had long known his nickname of Smiling Tiger. Therefore, the three of them became nervous when they saw Huang Qiong's smiling face.
Especially Nangong Mei, when she lost her virginity to him, the smile on his face made her relax her vigilance. As a result, he was eaten alive by this guy, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. As for the head of the Fan family, it was analyzed from the words of his son and daughter-in-law that the more often the smile on his face, the more angry and even murderous he was in his heart.
We all have emerged from the storm, and we can tell many things from even the smallest clues. What's more, with the Fan family's ability, it is not too difficult to find out the character of this master. Therefore, even though Huang Qiong's current attitude was extremely cordial, the faint smile on his face never faded when he spoke. But these three members of the Fan family have never settled down.
Of course, it was only the head of the family and Fan Dao who were worried. As for what Nangong Mei cares about, it's not whether this guy will fall out. Because Nangong Mei knew in her heart that even if Huang Qiong really planned to kill the Fan family, she would not do anything to herself and her children. Although this Lord is ruthless, he is still a person who misses old feelings. What she was worried about was actually something else.
When the three members of the Fan family faced Huang Qiong, they all had their own thoughts in mind. But no matter how the head of the Fan family and Fan Dao tried, Huang Qiong always showed a smile. He just told the two of them that he was driving south this time just to deal with the aftermath of Guangnan West Road. No matter how much they said, the two of them were still unable to find out anything. Even Huang Qiong didn't test out the Fan family's attitude.
However, when they entered the living room to have tea, the father and son were shocked to find that besides Nangong Zhen, there was an old acquaintance beside Huang Qiong. And this old acquaintance is none other than the famous Snake Lady Swordsman, who was once powerful in the south, and Princess Yunxiao of Dali Kingdom. But now, the most beautiful woman in the south of the sky, she didn’t know when she became the noble concubine of the Lord in front of her.
When Duan Jin was traveling around the world, it was impossible not to know the Fan family, the number one family in the martial arts world. Even back then, it was just a two-way relationship, and Fan Dao was still a young boy in his teens. But Duan Guifei, who gained fame as the Snake Girl Swordsman with her Dali Duan family swordsmanship, still left a deep impression on the father and son even though they had not seen each other for more than ten years.
After recognizing this Duan Guifei, who is now disguised as a woman, she still looks heroic. Not only is she more gorgeous and mature than before, but every time she looks at Huang Qiong, there is a touch of tenderness in her eyes. Even though they thought they were well-informed, the father and son couldn't help but feel a little surprised. A person who was once so arrogant actually had such a tender side.
After recognizing Duan Jin, the father and son were shocked by Huang Qiong's methods, and became even more wary of the master's methods. After carefully accompanying Huang Qiong, he had an extremely sumptuous dinner prepared by the Fan family. Huang Qiong, who just made an excuse for being tired, went to the backyard to take a bath and rest under the guidance of Fan Dao himself.
Arrangements were made for Huang Qiong and his party to rest, and he also told his servants to take good care of them. Fan Dao and his wife hurried back to his father's place. But after seeing the two people arriving, the head of the Fan family did not speak immediately. Instead, he pondered for a long time before speaking: "The Emperor is still wary of our Fan family. In other words, he has never been at ease about our Fan family."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have arrived in Xiangyang and avoided the Fan family. I have lived for more than fifty years now, and I have seen countless people with my eyes. But this is the first time that I can't see through a person, or It’s time to simply say that you can’t figure out a person. Our emperor is really not a simple person. This lord’s methods are far different from those of the city and even his emperor.”
"Last time, when Meier came to Beijing for Nangong Zhen, the emperor already showed that he was a little dissatisfied with the current situation of the Fan family and worried that the Fan family would be in trouble. It was only Meier's ability and eloquence that convinced him on certain matters. Concession. I am very worried this time. He went south this time because he was dissatisfied with the Fan family for making too many concessions in the previous negotiation. The Fan family is now a common man who is innocent and harbors a treasure. "
"In the world of the Great Qi Dynasty, being rich is not a fault. But if you are rich, have huge power in the world, and have many martial arts masters under your command, then it is wrong. Any emperor, facing such a situation When you are a noble family, you may not be able to rest assured. With the experience of the Guilin County Prince's Mansion, in my opinion, we should be more careful in the future."
After hearing his father's sigh, Fan Dao pondered for a moment and then said: "Father, I actually feel that he did not deceive us on this matter. Perhaps his purpose of going south this time is really what he said Like that. The Fan family is indeed developing rapidly now, but don't forget, our Fan family has developed so rapidly in the past few years, and it is only because of his support that we can reach where we are today.
"Even if he is really jealous of the Fan family now, he may not really take action against us. The last time Meier came to Beijing, although we did not give up the rights and interests of the Silk Road at his request. But in other aspects, we have already We have made a lot of concessions, and even all the escort business has been withdrawn one after another. As long as we are restrained and don't act too showy, we will probably be fine."
To Fan Dao's answer, the head of the Fan family did not answer him immediately. Instead, he looked at Nangong Mei and said: "My child, you have been to Beijing so many times before, but you really don't know at all that the snake girl sword entered the palace and became Duan Guifei? If I remember correctly, Duan Jin and you are not the same. We can’t say we are acquaintances, but we have met her once. As long as you have seen her in the palace, you will not fail to recognize her.”
There was some dissatisfaction in the owner's tone, but Nangong Mei could not miss it. She knows Duan Jin more than just knowing him? The two of them have slept on the same bed so many times, it can be said that they are extremely familiar with each other. How could she say these words? She didn't even dare to say that every time she came to Beijing alone, she would rest in the palace.
But facing the head of the family's doubts, Nangong Mei could only bite the bullet and said: "Father-in-law, my daughter-in-law is indeed more familiar with the palace. But every time she enters the palace, she rarely enters the harem. It is when you enter the harem that you have the most contact. It’s the Queen, and Concubine He who is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. I only have contact with Concubine Duan once or twice. And every time I come into contact, I almost pass by."
"In the past, I just thought it looked familiar, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Until the last time I entered the palace, in order to appease Sister Zhen, I stayed in the harem for a few more days. Sister Zhen said that this Concubine Duan was actually the famous Snake Lady Swordsman back then. At that time, the daughter-in-law did not believe it. It was not until Sister Zhen was canonized as Jieyu, and most of the concubines in the palace were present, that the daughter-in-law confirmed that Concubine Duan was the original Snake Girl Sword.
"The reason why my daughter-in-law did not come back to tell the truth about the family leader is because in my daughter-in-law's opinion, this Duan Guifei is reclusive even in the harem, and now she puts all her energy into the prince she gave birth to. Whether she exists or not is of great concern to the Fan family. It has no impact. Judging from my daughter-in-law’s experience in several negotiations with the owner, he is definitely not someone who will be swayed by any woman and make his own judgment."
"Just now, when my daughter-in-law was having dinner alone with a few nobles, she also tested the reason for their going south. Concubine Duan clearly told her daughter-in-law that the real purpose of their going south this time was to deal with the aftermath of Guangnan West Road. There is also the current war with the Dali Kingdom. Because the emperor has received the eight hundred miles from the frontline generals, the man who is now trapped in Nanning Mansion is dead."
"After analysis by my daughter-in-law, judging from the news that the Fan family has received in recent days, this matter should be true. So father-in-law does not have to worry. The emperor passed through Xiangyang this time just to rush to Guangnan West Road. As for the reason, both It may be related to the death of the false emperor and the hidden property of Guilin County Prince. In the three years of suppressing the rebellion, the court's military expenditure has been huge, and it has been stretched to the limit. "
"Although the official army occupied Jingjiang Mansion last year, the money and silk that can be collected. According to the news from our family, I am afraid that not even 10% of the wealth accumulated by the Guilin County Prince's Mansion over the years has been reached. Even if it was embezzled by the frontline generals Part of it is far from enough. The reason why the Emperor went south at this time must be to find the hidden property."
Nangong Mei's previous answer was quite satisfactory, and there were no flaws for a while. Although some concealment was done, there was nothing that could be done about it. She couldn't tell those truths no matter what. As for the fact that she didn't say that Duan Jin was also in the palace, the reason was the same as her answer. In Nangong Mei's view, Huang Qiong dotes on women, but it will never affect state affairs.
She never thought that a woman like Huang Qiong would affect his decision-making. Even if this woman is favored by him again, he will not give up his established national policy for a woman. Now the relationship between the imperial court and the Fan family has risen to the level of state affairs. Therefore, Nangong Mei does not think that the relationship between the Fan family and Duan Jin will affect Huang Qiong's thoughts on the Fan family.
Regarding Nangong Mei's answer, the head of the Fan family just looked at her but said nothing more. But he was a little stunned by the words that followed, and even refused to believe them. That person who was ruthless and resorted to all possible means is dead? is it possible? The Fan family has not found out this news yet. Is the Nanzhen Fusi in the imperial court really so capable? Can he find out?
Even the generals on the front line investigated the matter through the captured rebel generals. But after confirming the authenticity of the news and delivering it to the capital, Jedi will not be faster than the Fan family. He has always been extremely confident about the efficiency of the Fan family's intelligence system. As for this news, the Fan family still knows nothing about it. Hence, the extremely shocked expression on his face after hearing the news.
