The old patriarch looked at Yang Ning for a long time, then turned his eyes to Zhao Wenjing who was aside. Seeing that the other party was calm and unhurried, after thinking for a while, he had the answer in his heart.
He immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Wenjing:
"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your guidance. Mr. Zhao is indeed a great talent. He plans strategies and predicts the enemy ahead of others. I admire him!"
The old patriarch knows his grandson.
In order to protect Li Qinghan, Yang Ning defeated his inner demons in anger, overcame his timidity, and was able to defeat the barbarians. Although it was unexpected, it was still reasonable.
But to say that Yang Ning suddenly became resourceful... the old patriarch could only chuckle.
Therefore, the old patriarch believed that everything was due to Zhao Wenjing. After Yang Ning explained various situations to the other party, the other party helped him make arrangements.
Zhao Wenjing was so generous and treated Yang Ning so well, how could the old patriarch not thank him?
Hearing Yang Ning's various arrangements, Zhao Wenjing was quite shocked but pretended to be calm and calm, without losing his celebrity demeanor. His cheeks twitched when the old patriarch expressed his serious thanks.
He stood up and laughed twice: "What Mr. Yang said, Zhao didn't do anything. I just heard about those things. They were all Yang Silang's own arrangements."
Zhao Wenjing slandered: What is your grandson like? How can you, a country fool, not know you? Are you deliberately showing off your grandson's talents by singing this to me?
After thinking about it, Zhao Wenjing felt that the old patriarch's move was quite meaningful.
As the head of the Yang family and an old patriarch who had served as the governor of a border county in his early years, Meng Lang would not behave like this.
But what was the deep meaning of the old patriarch? With Zhao Wenjing's intelligence, he couldn't figure it out for a while. This made him have to cheer up and take a high look at the old patriarch.
"Yang Silang is already very resourceful, capable of literature and martial arts, and Mr. Yang is also an old fox. The Yang family is really not simple. We must not underestimate them just because they are just a local rich family!"
Zhao Wenjing understood clearly in his heart. He looked at the old patriarch with a profound look, and there was a faint smile with some inexplicable meaning on the corner of his mouth.
That means I know you are not simple. I, Zhao, can understand that you are not simple. This means that I am not simple either. We are all smart people, so don’t plot against me.
The old patriarch was puzzled.
Zhao Wenjing's words had already surprised him, and he couldn't help but be confused. He glanced at Yang Ning again, and when he turned around and noticed Zhao Wenjing's expression, Monk Zhang Er was even more confused.
"What do you mean, Mr. Zhao? Why do you look like you know everything? Could it be that I have done something sinister and should I let him know about it?"
The old patriarch speculated in confusion, "Could it be that Mr. Zhao thinks that everything An Zhi did was arranged by me secretly?
"Does he think I deliberately let An Zhi show off in front of him, so that he can think highly of An Zhi, so that he can sincerely help An Zhi raise an army to fight against Hu?"
The old patriarch felt that this was what Zhao Wenjing thought.
But the problem is, that's not the case...
The old patriarch turned to look at Yang Ning, who was drinking tea with his head down and behaving as usual. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I can't accept that An Zhi suddenly became brave and resourceful, so how can I make Mr. Zhao believe it? Anyway, I will take the blame for this."
The old patriarch sighed secretly, and then looked at each other and smiled with Zhao Wenjing, as if I know what you are thinking, I admit that you are right, and everyone can understand it tacitly.
Zhao Wenjing sat down gracefully and calmly, but his heart was filled with turmoil, thinking to himself:
The old fox really has a deep meaning, but it’s a pity that I can’t figure it out for a while, and I have to pretend to be in touch with him... I can’t let him underestimate me, I have to act more profound than him, otherwise Doesn't it mean that he will take advantage of him?
"An Zhi, we just don't have enough people. We have too little time and the training of young people will not produce any results. Furthermore, our number of weapons is extremely limited.
"Even if we can hold on to Wubao and don't have to go out to fight in the field, if the barbarians fire a volley of powerful bows, and then the Huang family's people attack Wubao, they will easily be frightened."
The old patriarch said to Yang Ning seriously.
Just as Yang Ning was about to speak, the old clan leader waved his hand and pretended to be profound: "I know you must have some concerns. Just do things according to your own ideas, and the clan will definitely help you.
"This is a test for you. If you can repel the barbarians, come and talk to me about other things."
By this time, the old patriarch was quite aware of Yang Ning's sudden talent and had a lot more trust in him.
Speaking of this, the old patriarch glanced at Zhao Wenjing with a vague look.
Zhao Wenjing smiled and remained motionless.
Yang Ning looked at the old patriarch and then at Zhao Wenjing. He felt that the atmosphere was suddenly a little strange, but he couldn't tell what the strange thing was.
However, Yang Ning was still happy to receive the family power granted by the old patriarch. He immediately gave a serious assurance: "My grandson will do his best."
...
Returning to his study from Yang Ning's courtyard, the old patriarch immediately called Yang Kui over.
"Tell me what happened today, and talk about Anzhi!" In front of Yang Kui, his absolute confidant, the old patriarch did not hide his urgency at all.
He wanted to immediately figure out the reason why Yang Ning's appearance changed drastically!
Yang Kui: "..."
The old patriarch waited for a long time, stared at him and said, "Why don't you speak?"
Yang Kui: "The villain is organizing the words."
The old patriarch took a deep breath: "Is there anything good to organize?"
Yang Kui: “I don’t know where to start.”
The old patriarch stared anxiously: "Let's start from the moment you see An Zhi!"
Yang Kui thought for a while and explained everything that happened during the day to the old patriarch one by one. He explained it in detail without missing any link.
The old patriarch was stunned when he heard this: "So, An Zhi not only defeated you, but also has the courage that no man can deserve, he can also cleverly lure the enemy to set up an ambush, and has the talent of knowing soldiers and fighting well?"
Thinking back to Yang Ning's many arrangements just now, the old patriarch really couldn't believe that it was his grandson who he had watched grow up: "It shouldn't be, how could An Zhi be so capable?"
Yang Kui, however, was very indifferent and said: "The Fourth Young Master has been studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is already good at both civil and martial arts. Before, it was just... he just couldn't express himself in front of others.
"Now that the Fourth Young Master's inner demons are gone, he can show off some of his abilities. It's not something unacceptable."
Recalling that when he was testing Yang Ning's talent in school, the other party was sweating profusely and hesitating. It was difficult for the old patriarch to accept such an explanation.
But in the face of reality, he couldn't help but accept it.
After stroking his beard for a long time, the old patriarch fell into self-doubt:
"Is An Zhi really a jade? I have heard people say that he is eloquent and skilled in martial arts in private. I thought it was because his servants and friends were lying. Could it be that this is really the case?
"Is Anzhi a man with nothing but gold and jade inside? This little guy has beauty inside. He doesn't show off his beauty on weekdays, but will it be revealed when something big happens?"
