After a moment, heavy footsteps sounded.
A fat and big-eared official went outside the study. He first tidied up his clothes, smiled at the eunuch on duty, and said: I'm sorry, my father-in-law, and my subordinate Xiao Nantian asked to see the king.
The Shang family, the Xiao family and the Shan family are the three major families in Zhongshan. Since the Shang family overthrew the previous dynasty and founded the country, the Shang family has been included in the royal lineage. From then on, the Liuqiu has had to compete with the two major families in the Xiao family and the Shan family.
Dongming sent the Shan family to start with martial arts and build weapons, which was rich enough to rival the country; but the Xiao family monopolized half of the life essentials in Zhongshan, and the scarce materials transported from the Central Plains such as tea and silk made countless profits.
The Xiao family's Shan family can be said to be a literary and military family, one inside and one outside, supporting the entire Shang family dynasty.
Xiao Nantian is the contemporary head of the Xiao family. Since he was about fifty years old, he has not seen any old age. He has a big belly, like a pregnant woman who is six months pregnant, and has a son and a daughter under his knees.
Xiao Nantian always looked kind and did not compete with others, but this fat man with no stunning appearance was Shang Rende's favorite minister. He went through a lot of hardships to find him from overseas to present him to the king, and he received a special honor, and his title was promoted from hereditary to hereditary.
Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, hereditary was further divided into ignorant and hereditary hereditary.
The former means that the number of hereditary numbers is limited, and every time the inheritor inherits, the inheritor can only inherit the title that is one level lower than the original title of the inheritor; the latter means that the number of hereditary numbers is infinite, and the inheritor inherits the original title of the inheritor.
Xiao Nantian narrowed his eyes and looked at the pale eunuch. There was something terrifying behind his kind smile.
The rotating eunuch had his teeth trembling, his whole body was shaking, and his sharp voice sounded: Xiao... Lord Xiao is here.
Xiao Qing is here, come in quickly.
Shang Rende's voice sounded from the study room, and Xiao Nantian was fine enough to walk into the room, but the little eunuch's trembling legs could no longer support his thin body, and he collapsed softly on the ground.
He looked very embarrassed, but the little eunuch was happy because his fortune was saved. The king's favor for Lord Xiao had reached an extreme point. He was a little man and killed him just by saying that he had killed him. Last month, three little eunuchs had offended Lord Xiao, but ended up being a court stick and died tragically on the spot.
Although I survived by chance today, what about tomorrow?
Little people who cannot turn their fate around are destined to be sad because their destiny is not in their own hands, but in a thought of the superior.
Bypassing the curtains and screens, there were only two people in the study. Shang Rende with his eyes closed and the eunuch leader Li Shun, Xiao Nantian with fat on his face walked towards Shang Rende.
Have met the king.
Xiao Nantian bowed and saluted. His weight of more than 250 pounds made his movements look funny and ridiculous.
Why do you need much politeness to Shangqing and me?
Shang Rende opened his eyes and smiled and said, "Sit down."
Etiquette cannot be abolished.
Xiao Nantian struggled to stand up straight, sat on a wooden chair that was not proportional to his body, and made a creaking protest.
Xiao Aiqing, what I ordered is already obvious!
Facing his most beloved servant, Shang Rende's voice was less cold than the past.
The king, I am lucky to be unwilling to be the last one.
Xiao Nantian took out a letter from his body and said respectfully: Please read it by the emperor.
Li Shun, who had been waiting by the side with his head down and closed his eyes, walked up with a smile, took the letter, and handed over to Shang Rende.
Xiao Aiqing really lived up to expectations. I have rewarded him a lot.
Shang Rende opened the letter and laughed wildly while reading.
There are many masters in the Dongming family, but if you talk about young masters, you have never heard of it. There is news that Mrs. Dongming recently accepted a new disciple. This person's name is Chu Jiangnan. His origin is mysterious and he is not someone who is in the fumble.
When Shang Rende was reading the letter, Xiao Nantian reported: According to the secret report of the Huaying, the person who attacked the branch of my secret camp was a mediocre person, but this Chu Jiangnan was indeed a handsome man with a handsome and elegant style, and he was a rare beauty in the world.
It is reported that there is a disguise technique in the Central Plains martial arts world that can change a person's appearance and turn a person into another person.
Shang Rende smiled and put down the letter in his hand, saying: This person appears at this time, we must not take it lightly and make every effort to investigate the origin of this person.
Xiao Nantian sneered in his heart. Although the rumors of disguise have been around for a long time, no one has ever seen them. Even if you change your appearance, you just rely on makeup to change your temperament in part. How could you become another person?
The king is very insightful.
Without revealing his thoughts, Xiao Nantian said respectfully: I must do my best.
Shang Qing Fei Ge passed the letter, and the road was smooth and he arrived soon.
The evil light suddenly flashed in Shang Rende's eyes. You can cooperate with them with all your strength and you will be rewarded after the matter is completed.
The rewards seemed to be a catchphrase. Xiao Nantian sneered in his heart, but he did not thank him again.
These Central Plains people are not good things either.
Shang Rende showed a dark look on his face and said with a grim smile: It would be better to have both defeated the Dongming Sect, hehe...
Of course, Xiao Nantian knew that Shang Rende had paid a huge price to ask for help from the blacklist experts, but his wishful thinking was wrong. The blacklist experts were famous all over the world. How could this be a false reputation? In a small place where the ball was so easy, who could compete with him?
Even if the army is dispatched, the opponent will have no choice but to leave and stay.
The king is wise.
Xiao Nantian responded: It is the best result to die together.
Regardless of whether Shang Rende is right or wrong, as long as he opens his mouth, even if he is bullshit, he will be a good word. If he flatters, he will definitely be correct.
********************
It's a smooth journey, but it doesn't take much time to go ten miles.
Outside the main entrance of Dongming Villa is a vast open space surrounded by high walls. This is not to show off one's luxury and power. An open environment can obtain a better visual space range and be conducive to defense.
At this time, there were more than a dozen horses tied to the horse stakes next to the space. The horse harnesses they were equipped with were of the best quality, and the horse thighs were branded with different marks, showing their unique identities.
The most conspicuous thing is the luxuriously decorated car. The horses pulling the cart are not variegated in their entire body, and the assembly is gorgeous, which makes all the horses beside them compare.
A young man walked slowly towards the hall of Dongming Villa, Shang Yi with a smile on his face, and his smile seemed a bit flattering no matter how he looked.
The young man dresses beautifully and has a delicate eyebrows. He looks feminine in his steps, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.
Behind the two, there were dozens of strong men in brocade clothes with harsh and cruel expressions, besides the three charming women.
The group came to the reception hall. Shan Wan'er, who received the news, was already sitting on the Grand Master's chair. After meeting with the visitor, everyone sat down with the guest and host.
The young man said politely: Farewell to the New Year, see you today, and the lady's style is even more beautiful than the past.
Nephew Xiao is really good at speaking. With you, it’s no wonder that the Xiao family’s business is getting bigger and bigger.
Shan Wan'er smiled with a beautiful and dignified expression, and said with a crisp voice: How good is Lingzun's health?
My nephew is just telling the truth.
Xiao Feng picked up the fragrant tea and drank it to the end, then put down the teacup and said respectfully: Everything is fine for my father, Mrs. Lau is worried about it.
After a round of greetings, Shan Wan'er turned to the topic and said: I wonder what the so-called Nephew Xiao came here today?
The so-called "I will not go to the Three Treasures Palace" without any trouble. Of course, the other party came not to reminisce about the past. It is as simple as family matters, but I am not afraid of the others, I am only afraid that the Xiao family came for that matter...
Xiao Feng leaned against the bench, with a straight figure, completely like a young man from a noble family, with a warm smile on his face, and replied: I'm not to hide it from my wife, in fact, I came here today to...
Ah！
A scream came from outside the hall.
Enemy attack?
Shan Wan'er almost instantly threw this ridiculous idea behind her, got up and walked out of the hall, and the others followed her.
I saw more than a dozen swordsmen in brocade clothes, with long swords unsheathed, one of them was stained with blood on the knife, and a guard from Dongming Villa was lying on the ground.
Shan Wan'er's phoenix eyes were filled with power and said coldly: What's going on?
Immediately someone stepped forward and explained the whole story. Since ancient times, there was no first in literature and martial arts, but no second in martial arts. It was originally just a small debate, but the struggle between intention and spirit eventually turned into wars.
There were still a large number of guards coming from afar, and the huge garden was already surrounded and could not be thrust through. Shan Wan'er frowned and scolded: Why don't you retreat for me?
Most of the guards were scolded without knowing what had happened. Although it was inexplicable, no one disobeyed the order.
A bastard, don't even get the knife.
Xiao Feng walked to Shan Wan'er, stood side by side with her, and cursed: It's really embarrassing the Xiao family.
Shan Wan'er's crescent moon eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of unhappiness flashed away on her face.
The man in brocade clothes retracted his sheath and the injured on the ground had been carried away, but the blood stain was extremely conspicuous and dazzling.
A fierce light flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and his voice was humble: Madam, since I was not strict with my subordinates and my subordinates injured someone by mistake, letting him leave something as a plea.
After looking at the hurt man, the cruel light hidden in his eyes became more and more fierce. Xiao Feng smiled grimly: If you hurt someone, you will compensate him with that hand.
The man's body shook for a moment, his face turned ugly, and his eyes were filled with unhidden fear.
Madam, are you satisfied with this treatment?
Staring at Shan Wan'er, who was as fairy as a fairy beside her, a moving smile appeared on Xiao Feng's mouth, as if he was discussing a small matter that was not an official. In his eyes, human life is no different from an ant, and it is indeed a small matter.
Zheng!
The long knife was unsheathed again, and the bean-sized Hanzhu flowed down her cheeks. The big man trembled with his lips, gritted his teeth and raised his left arm, and raised his right hand holding the knife high.
It was quiet around, no one spoke, except for the heavy breathing and the violent beating of the heart, there was no sound everywhere.
When Xiao Feng looked at Shan Wan'er, his eyes were very gentle, and he looked like a young master in the turbid world. He asked with a smile: If the wife thinks it is not enough, then let him leave his life here.
After sighing inwardly, Shan Wan'er couldn't bear it and said lightly: Since it was an unintentional mistake, I'll forget it!
The lady is so generous.
Xiao Feng turned his head to look at the big man, and the gentle look in his eyes was replaced by fierce again, and said coldly: You know how to do it yourself.
The big man finally relaxed. Just as everyone was relieved, a cold light suddenly appeared and blood appeared. The big man raised his knife and fell, and a little finger fell to the ground.
The man stood straight, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. He gritted his teeth and kept silent.
The man with a broken finger inserted the long knife backhanded and fell to the ground, kowtowed and said, "Mr. Xie."
Xiao Feng didn't even look at him and replied: You should thank Mrs.
Everyone returned to the hall, but the atmosphere was completely different during the chat.
