Compared to Huang Qiong, who was made by Duan Lin's words and thought that he had underestimated her. Duan Lin finished her words, but Nangong Mei sneered: "At the beginning, when the magic pen scholar seriously injured my husband, your King Anxi didn't know that he was in such a place. Did the so-called Master Guo take action for the sake of his father's sake or for his own good? I am afraid that only he himself understands that he is selfish. He won the Western Region for you, so you should naturally be grateful to him. But for me, not only does he have no favor to the Fan family, but he has a grudge against me for killing my husband."
"The hatred of killing your husband is irreconcilable. The Fan family can give up their control over the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the homeland of Khotan. But I also hope that you will not interfere with the grudges between the Fan family and the magic pen scholar. Don't interfere when the time comes. It's not good to bring trouble to innocent people. The Fan family can't deal with the magic pen scholar, but it can still deal with the outer disciples of the Duanrenmen and a second-rate master from the Duan family of Dali. That King Anxi was sent by him Those who go to the Western Regions represent the Great Qi Dynasty in the Western Regions. Therefore, the Fan family does not want to touch you two."
But Duan Lin sneered at Nangong Mei's words: "Don't open or shut up about the revenge of killing your husband. If Mrs. Fan was still thinking about the revenge of killing her husband, she wouldn't be here. The entanglement between Mrs. Fan and His Majesty just now, Even I watched it with great enthusiasm. Just looking at Mrs. Fan's performance just now, it's really hard for me to imagine that that crazy woman who served His Majesty in several places was actually the housekeeper's wife of the Fan family. If you really care about it As for the revenge of killing her husband, Mrs. Fan should be in the Western Regions right now, fighting for Mr. Guo instead of here."
"What's more, if I remember correctly, Mr. Guo only seriously injured Fan Dao, but he definitely didn't kill him. Otherwise, do you think Fan Dao could have left the Western Regions back then? Not to mention, he could still survive for a few years. He died just now? The so-called revenge for killing your husband is just an excuse for the Fan family to continue to interfere in the Western Regions. Besides, your Fan family knows better than anyone why Fan Dao was seriously injured in the first place. You are trying to fish in troubled waters and bribe the generals. , to win over the Uighur tribes, but only forgot about his Han ancestry."
"You, the Fan family, don't even think about it. If you occupy the Western Region, can you really hold it? Not to mention the entire Western Region, even the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains you currently occupy, as well as the old land of Khotan. If it weren't for the Anxi King's branch at the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, he has The forces supported by the imperial court are more feared by the surrounding tribes. The little power that your Fan family has at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains has long been wiped out by the Kara Khanate or the Xijiasi people. You still have Do you really think that having money can solve everything? I really don’t know what you are thinking.”
Duan Lin's words couldn't help but make Nangong Mei a little annoyed. But I have to admit that what Duan Lin said makes sense. If the scholar with the magic pen had really tried his best, Fan Dao would not have left the Western Region alive. Although Fan Dao is the disciple with the highest martial arts skills in this generation of the Fan family. After years of hard study and practice, he is now no lower than his father. But compared with the legendary magic pen scholar whose martial arts has entered the realm of transformation and is known as the only two masters in the world along with the Ice Rakshasa, the difference is still too huge.
Fan Dao was able to survive from his hands, not because he was incompetent, but because he was merciful. Even Nangong Mei had to admit this. But admitting that others were merciful did not mean that Nangong Mei would give up, let alone that she was willing to show cowardice in front of Duan Lin, her opponent. Facing Duan Lin's words, Nangong Mei used the same tone as Duan Lin just now: "I have an affair with His Majesty, but how can you, Princess Anxi, be better than me? It's not the same, you are much more wanton than me. .”
"Everyone and Your Majesty are like this. No one is better than anyone else. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the person before, even the lowest woman in the tile alley, could not compare with him. She is the majestic Princess of Anxi, the eldest princess of the Dali Kingdom. Everyone is the same, and no one should laugh at the same thing. As for the Western Regions, you just took the ready-made one, what qualifications do you have to comment? If the Fan family is really If trouble happens in private. Are you serious, how can you be so safe at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain? The Fan family has been cultivating the Silk Road for more than a hundred years and has accumulated a lot of contacts. How can you compare with it in just a few years? "
"It is true that money cannot buy loyalty, but it can cause you countless troubles. Those Uighurs, aren't they jealous of money? If you have enough money, you may not be able to buy their support. You are just relying on God. Scholar Bi supports you. Without his help, I am afraid that no matter how much support the court gives you, the Lord of the Western Regions will not be able to decide who it is. If you do not bribe those generals, the influence of the Fan family in the Uighur tribes alone will be limited. Even if you cannot Controlling the Western Region, you can control a corner of the Western Region without any problems."
"The influence of the Fan family among the Uighur tribes in the Western Regions, including that Jiajiasi people, let alone you who have no foundation at all in the Western Regions. So what if you are a waste of Shu? With the help of that magic pen scholar , on the surface it is the largest force in the Western Region now. In fact, it is just a rootless duckweed. Do you know that when the Shu people entered the Western Region? If the Fan family had not ordered the subordinates in the Western Region to adopt a neutral approach, Strategy. We even privately ordered people to freeze the tax input of the Uighurs in Xizhou."
"It cut off all the financial resources of the Uighurs in Xizhou and triggered large-scale mutiny and rebellion among the Uighur tribes in Xizhou. If the Fan family had turned to paying taxes to the Uighurs normally, the Uighurs in Xizhou would have sufficient financial resources and had enough money to subsidize those tribes, so they could freely recruit troops. . How can a ragtag group of Shu cripples gain a foothold in the Western Regions in such a short period of time? Anyone can look down on the Fan family, but you two are just enjoying the ready-made, and you have no right to laugh at the Fan family. You We underestimate the Fan family’s influence in the Western Regions.”
"You have time to spend time with His Majesty like this. But you don't have time to get to know those Uighurs and Xijiasi people. Ask them, they dare to violate your Anxi Palace. They have a tribe and they are one. , how many people dare to defy Fan Jiayang? As long as the Fan family says a word, none of the cotton, leather goods, medicinal materials, and even cattle, horses, and camels produced by their tribe can be sold. Back then, the Fan family gave an order, and they, together with The Uighur royal family in Xizhou dare not dismantle the throne."
"Facing you, your foundation in the Western Region is far from stable. Even you, a majestic concubine and a little prince of the Xijiasi people, dare to peep at the Anxi Palace. How do you think those Uighur tribes are so willing? , at your command? If the Fan family is determined to compete with you for the Western Region, your Anxi King may not even be able to sleep? Even though you represent the court in the Western Region, among the tribes in the Western Region, far away The benefits that the imperial court, thousands of miles away, can provide are far less than what the Fan family can provide."
Although she is not as smooth as Duan Lin, at the critical moment, Nangong Mei is not bad at all. Two women, the wife of the Fan family and Princess Anxi, were arguing here with Huang Qiong separated from them. He refused to say a word about that, and he almost didn't take action publicly. Looking at the beautiful scenery displayed in front of him, the two excited women were quarreling and doing evil things from time to time, although Huang Qiong felt extremely enjoying it. But the quarrel between the two women made him feel a little dizzy.
However, it was these words that the two women said to each other that shocked Huang Qiong. Based on his understanding of Nangong Mei, Nangong Mei may hide something in front of him, but he will never exaggerate. Nangong Mei, who has a smart personality but is absolutely steady, is not the kind of person who uses a tiger's skin as a banner. If it was what she just said, then the Fan family's private power in the Western Region was far greater than she imagined. A business family can actually influence most of the tribes in the Western Region and even make them obey.
Even if the Fan family is unable to control those tribes at the moment, what is hidden is enough to frighten every high-ranking person. In other words, this merchant is really scary. In any other dynasty, even in an enlightened dynasty, this merchant would probably not be allowed to exist. Although the various tribes in the Western Regions are far from threatening the stability of Daqi. But now the Western Region is controlled by himself through the Anxi Palace. The Fan family's current power in the Western Region can be said to have threatened Da Qi's stability in the Western Region.
Even the Fan family was originally supported by Huang Qiong. Having money is not scary, but having money must not threaten the stability of the court. Nangong Mei's words mean that even though there are two warm bodies around her at this moment, Huang Qiong still feels the chills in her back. Huang Qiong knew that even though he felt sorry for Nangong Mei and her son, she could never indulge in the Fan family. Although it is difficult to eliminate the influence of the Fan family in the Western Regions in a short period of time. All the troops and horses gathered by the Fan family at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain must be handed over.
However, looking at the two girls who were still arguing, Huang Qiong had a headache and her thoughts were interrupted. He pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn't expect that these two women, who usually seemed noble, could be so quarrelsome. Huang Qiong thought that she was not facing two rich and wealthy women who had been well-educated since childhood, but instead two shrews who grew up in the city. Huang Qiong, whose head was as big as a bucket, wanted to dissuade him several times. But he was shocked to find that he didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
Facing the silver basin of the two girls, they slapped each of them hard. Huang Qiongcai said to the two agitated women: "You are both heroes among women and my women. How did you end up like this? Look at how you look now. What is the difference between you and those shrews? Things have already happened Now, is there any point in sarcastic remarks here? The key now is how to solve the problem in the Western Regions. The two of you, one represents the presence of the imperial court in the Western Regions, and the other is a powerful figure in the Central Plains, what you should do more is to work together."
"How about we help the imperial court take complete control of the Western Regions as soon as possible instead of poaching each other here. You are fighting among each other, and you are more happy than the Uighurs and Xijiasi people? You are all in charge, and you are all capable. Woman. Mei'er now controls the huge Fan family, and Lin'er's efforts in the Western Regions have not been in vain in the past few years. Lin'er can be said to have at least 30% of the credit for King Anxi's current situation in the Western Regions. And you are all my women, then Why can't we join forces and help me settle the Western Region?"
"You have to argue here. What's the use of winning the argument? Are you happy, not those aliens from the Western Regions? They are all my women. In front of me, where does such a quarrel put me? Who would be because of this? Don't say that I will punish her severely for such a meaningless quarrel. Especially you, Lin'er, please give in more. No matter what is going on, someone in the Fan family is dead after all. And Mei'er also agrees Give up those generals you bribed. You must also protect the Fan family’s cotton farms in the Western Regions."
"As for other matters, since you are all in Xijing, let's talk slowly. As for the matter of the scholar with the magic pen, if the Fan family seeks revenge through Jianghu means, you should not interfere too much. Jianghu affairs, Jianghu, let's let it go They're completely done."
