Before Nangong Mei left, Huang Qiong spent three days renovating in Jiujiang for Nangong Mei. And during these three days, Huang Qiong, who really couldn't let go of the beauty, spent three whole days madly entangled with Nangong Mei before letting her go. Looking at the beauty's leaving figure, Huang Qiong was filled with sadness. No matter how reluctant he was to let go, Huang Qiong could only let go in the face of Nangong Mei, who was eager to return. When Huang Qiong and his entourage passed through Xiangyang Mansion, Nangong Mei, who had rushed back in advance, brought a large family to greet the holy driver at the south gate of Xiangyang.
After repeated attempts by the Fan family to stay, Huang Qiong finally stayed at the Fan family for a day. But when meeting with the head of the Fan family, Huang Qiong was shocked by what the head of the Fan family said: "What, that guy is dead? Old master, is this true? It's not that I don't believe the master, but this person He has always been cunning and cunning, and he acts unscrupulously. There are some things that I cannot help but guard against. This is not the first time that he faked his death and escaped. How could someone like him die so easily?"
Seeing Huang Qiong's look of disbelief, the old head of the family also said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. Now the Western Region is already in chaos. Although Fan Dao failed to get back in time, he still sent The man crossed the desert and tried his best to send this news back. This man was a descendant of the Fan family brought by Fan Dao, and he was absolutely loyal and reliable. The secret letter he brought also showed the connection between Cao Min and Fan Dao. In addition to the old man Apart from Fan Dao, there are secret words that even my daughter-in-law doesn’t know.”
"Furthermore, it has become clear that Fan Dao used the Fan family's connections. The King of Shu was not only killed, but also assassinated. His assassin was a woman. Does your Majesty remember that King Shu was killed a few years ago? The king and King Duan rebelled. Your Majesty and the King of Shu, respectively, united their armies to put down the rebellion? King Shu destroyed King Duan's entire family, but allowed Princess Duan to escape. While chasing and rescuing Princess Duan and her party, King Shu because He wiped out the whole family of a village in anger. But the King of Shu never expected that an orphan girl escaped from that village."
"I don't know who rescued the orphan girl, and she also learned kung fu and singing and dancing skills. I don't know where she got the news that the King of Shu fled the Western Regions, so she went to the Western Regions to seek revenge from him. The King of Shu fled the Western Regions, although in Various tribes in the Western Regions selected a large number of beauties to serve them. But after all, the King of Shu was a Han, and he liked Han beauties. When he went out on patrol, he saw the girl and thought that she was a goddess. He sent people to rob her by force. Because that girl is naturally charming, she has always been favored by her."
"It's just that he didn't know that that girl was the only orphan girl left in the village where he killed her. That girl was quite remarkable. Although she recognized the King of Shu at that time, she never mentioned it. It wasn't until two months ago that the King of Shu completely dropped his guard against her and began to sleep in her room. And there were no longer any guards outside to protect her, so she took advantage of the King of Shu's sleep to use a hidden piece of porcelain to kill her. The king of Shu was killed and his head was also cut off."
"According to the information obtained by Fan Dao, the head of the King of Shu disappeared together with the woman afterwards. It was not until the early morning of the next day that the person who served the King of Shu to wash up discovered that the King of Shu was dead, and even the head was missing. The woman also disappeared with him. The king of Shu's deployment almost searched Gaochang City where the king of Shu was stationed, but he could not find the woman or the head of the king of Shu. Because almost all the heirs of the king of Shu were in Jingzhao and had no descendants in the Western Regions. So now the King of Shu is in chaos."
After the old master finished speaking, Huang Qiong frowned. He walked around the room repeatedly, but didn't speak for a while. Looking at Huang Qiong, whose face was ashen, the head of the family naturally didn't say anything because of his sophistication. However, what Huang Qiong said next made the old family leader stunned: "Master, let Fan Dao return immediately. The foundation of the Western Region is really not good, so give up. Everything is based on Fan Dao's safety. The King of Shu is I will send someone to find out whether it is real death or fake death."
Hearing that Huang Qiong was actually worried about Fan Dao's safety, the head of the family was slightly startled. Then he felt somewhat moved in his heart. Originally, he thought that the supreme emperor in front of him could be used as a chess piece in his heart by anyone, whether he was alive or dead, it didn't matter to them. They don't care about anything except their throne. But he didn't expect that this master was actually worried about Fan Dao's safety right now. And not blindly, just the situation in the Western Regions.
To be honest, after knowing about Nangong Mei and this master, it is basically impossible for the master to say that he is not tired of it. Especially the fact that the eldest grandson whom he loved and valued the most was actually the son of this master, it was even more difficult for the head of the family to accept. But he could only swallow this breath. Except that the eldest grandson is getting better and better and has almost become the recognized heir of the Fan family. Also, it was the identity of this Lord that forced him to accept it without swallowing it. He knew that if he laid a finger on Nangong Mei.
This Lord didn't even need the next day to completely wipe out the Fan family from this world. A person who was able to fight his way through many princes and win the throne was probably much more capable than he imagined. Although this tone was so hard that the head of the family was almost unforgettable. But with this tone, he knew that the Fan family could only pinch their noses and admit it. Not only did he not dare to lay a finger on Nangong Mei, he even continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb about many things.
However, Huang Qiong's concern for Fan Dao today was somewhat beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought that the master planned to get rid of Fan Dao quickly, so that he could stay with Nangong Mei forever. But he didn't expect that Huang Qiong really cared about Fan Dao. Thinking of this, the head of the family sighed slightly in his heart and said: "In reply to Your Majesty, although Fan Dao is controlled in the Western Region and cannot escape for the time being, there is still no problem in terms of safety. The subordinates of the King of Shu have to think carefully if they want to touch him. , weigh."
"However, the common people think that the King of Shu's arrangements to temporarily control Fan Dao in the Western Regions are not simple-minded. The common people always feel that they are trying to show something to the Fan family in disguise, or want to express something to the court through the Fan family. Otherwise, They will not let Fan Dao's messenger enter the pass. Your Majesty, the common people think that Your Majesty should think carefully about what their purpose is. The common people always feel that their move is not without purpose. Although most of the subordinates are now from the tribes in the Western Regions .But the top management are all Han Chinese.”
"As soon as the King of Shu died, his subordinates in the Western Regions became a bunch of rootless duckweeds. The King of Shu has not had a single descendant left in the Western Regions for these years. They are probably in chaos now. Some people want to return to the big country. Qi is inevitable. After all, this is their home, and their roots are in Da Qi. The King of Shu is here, and there is still a backbone. Moreover, the methods used by the King of Shu are extremely cruel. Even if those people want to return eastward, they still have a backbone. They dare not. Now that the King of Shu is gone, they want to return to the east and return to Daqi."
Listening to the analysis of the family head, Huang Qiong remained silent for a while. I just put my hands behind my back and looked at the couplets on the wall of the living room, not knowing what I was thinking. After a long time, he said to the head of the family: "It's still a little early to tell what they want to do. The problem now is to make sure that the King of Shu is really dead. I hope that the Fan family can cooperate with Nanzhen Fusi to put this The matter has been found out. I know that in some matters, the Fan family is more capable than Nanzhen Fusi, and the information is more sensitive."
After the words fell, Huang Qiong suddenly turned his head, looked at the head of the family in front of him, and said with a smile: "Send someone to tell Fan Dao that his safety is the most important thing in the Western Region. Don't interfere in things that should not be interfered with. I know that your Fan family must have your own tricks among the subordinates of the King of Shu. But there are some things that are not afraid of ten thousand or just in case. If a dog is in a hurry, he can do anything. If he is needed over there Be this bridge and pass the message between them and the imperial court, accept it first and then talk about it."
"Everything is to protect our own safety. Now that something has happened, I have to rush back to the capital to deal with the matter. I will return to the capital tomorrow. If the Fan family needs the support of the court in the Western Regions, send them I just need to send a message to the capital personally. Master, can you go to the capital for a walk if you have nothing to do? There are some things that don’t require Mrs. Fan’s intervention. I was able to support the Fan family in the first place, and I still have this mind. As long as the Fan family has something to do , don’t go too far, I can still tolerate it.”
Huang Qiong's words undoubtedly gave the Fan family a guarantee in disguise. As long as the Fan family themselves don't be too desperate and do something irreversible, the court can definitely protect them and their family property will be protected by this master. After hearing Huang Qiong's words, the owner of the family, who had been nervous, finally relaxed completely. He knew that no matter how big the Fan family became, they could basically sit back and relax in the future, without having to worry about being settled by the master one day.
But just when Huang Qiong was about to leave and rest, a boy of six or seven years old walked in. After respectfully saluting Huang Qiong. Then he bowed and said to the head of the family: "Grandpa, grandmother and mother asked their grandson to come find you. Your health and bones have been in poor condition recently, and you have just recovered from a serious illness. Grandma and mother, please ask your grandson to supervise you to take a rest early. You must not work too hard. Mother said that even Your Majesty must be more considerate of the hard work of grandfather in charge of a large family."
Seeing this boy, Huang Qiong's heart couldn't help but move. Taking a closer look, this boy with an elegant look and a very elegant look is very similar to Nangong Mei. And deep down, there is still a third of his own appearance. He immediately knew that this was probably the son Nangong Mei had given birth to. He waved and called the boy to his side, but he smiled and said: "Are you Fan Dao's eldest son? Have you studied? What books have you read recently? Have you practiced martial arts?"
After hearing Huang Qiong's inquiry, the boy, who naturally didn't know what his relationship was with the man in front of him, bowed and said: "To answer your Majesty's question, Cao Min has been studying. The books Cao Min reads are from his grandfather and uncle. Hand-selected. Cao Min is currently reading "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius", as well as "Tang Poetry" and "Suan Jing". The family specially invited a retired Hanlin to be in charge of ethnic studies. He is also Cao Min's mentor. Grandfather requested, The grassroots people now mainly study literature and martial arts as a supplement."
Although this child is still young, every move he makes is quite well-behaved, and his conversation is also quite polite and discerning. Hearing that this child actually read "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius", Huang Qiong was very interested and read a few sentences casually. But I found that this child was quite knowledgeable. Although I don’t fully understand the meaning of the book because I am still young, I still have my own considerations. Regarding "Tang Poems", I basically read it freely. The more he took the exam, the more Huang Qiong fell in love with this child.
However, no matter how much he liked him, Huang Qiong knew that he could not recognize him when facing this child. He touched the child's head with great satisfaction and hesitated for a moment. He reached out and took off a string of cold jade rosary beads from his wrist. He stretched out his hand to help the child and said: "If you really want to prevent your grandfather from being too tired, you should study hard and practice martial arts. Only in this way can you support your grandparents and parents in the future."
