Fan Zhihua touched her chin and muttered, "This is impossible!"

"Dad, could it be that you are thinking too much, the hilt of the sword was stolen by someone this day, and the person who stole it was an outsider and not from the Yao family or the Ruan family?"

"No matter what, we can't relax, one day you can't sit on the throne of the city lord, one day we can't let our guard down!"

Fan Zhihua actually didn't worry too much, since the Yao family didn't get the hilt of the Heavenly Sword, they naturally didn't dare to make any moves in a grand manner, after all, they didn't have anything to rely on in their hands!

Yao Qirong also set his eyes on Ruan Gumao, and he also knew that Fan Zhihua had recently looked for Ruan Gumao.

Listening to the person who reported the news described that when Fan Zhihua left Ruan's mansion, Ruan Gumao politely sent people to the door, and he knew that Fan Zhihua's attempt to win over Ruan Gumao was unsuccessful.

Since Fan Zhihua failed to form an alliance with Ruan Gumao, he still has a chance.

Ruan Gumao expected that he might become a sweetheart, and since Fan Zhihua left, he was waiting for Yao Qirong to come!

Yao Qirong came to Ruan's mansion, Ruan Gumao also saw him in the guest hall, and after the two of them sat down, Yao Qirong began to talk with Ruan Gumao.

Yao Qirong is different from Fan Zhihua, he likes and is good at observing words and feelings.

If Fan Zhihua likes to go straight with a single knife, Yao Qirong is much more sophisticated than him, and he came this time to explore Ruan Gumao's tone.

Ruan Gumao and Yao Qirong have been together for so long, so they naturally know his way of doing things, so he didn't mention the current situation at all, just accompanied Yao Qirong to talk nonsense.

The two big men talked about it in broad daylight, from afternoon to evening in one breath, Ruan Gumao didn't say that Yao Qirong was left to eat at home, Yao Qirong knew what he meant.

He didn't show his heart to himself all afternoon, which shows that he actually has no intention of forming an alliance with himself. So he saw that it was not too early and left to go home.

If you want to say whether a family is prosperous or not, it is not enough to look at Lao Tzu, but also to look at the small ones.

Compared with Yao Yuanshan, Fan Qingsong is more calm and sophisticated, which may have something to do with Yao Yuanshan being older than Fan Qingsong, but in fact, it has a lot to do with his personality.

"Dad, how is it?" asked Yao Yuanshan.

Yao Qirong shook his head.

Yao Yuanqing spoke: "Does he disagree?"

Yao Qirong is also a little unsure whether this Ruan Gumao is still thinking about it, or whether he just wants to remain neutral.

Or maybe Ruan Gu Mao himself wants to rebel, so he is not willing to form an alliance with anyone?

Soon Yao Qirong denied his idea, you must know that the Yao family wants to form an alliance with others, if Ruan Gumao really wants to rebel, then he will definitely can't wait to form an alliance with himself now.

After all, it must be easier to deal with the Fan family with yourself, and it must be easier to deal with yourself with the Fan family.

What is the reason for his search for neutrality?

Could it be that he wants to wait and see what happens to reap the benefits? If so, then it is necessary to get rid of him first.

But Yao Qirong doesn't want to act rashly, he still needs to think clearly, no matter what, he can't let this surnamed Ruan remain neutral, he wants to reap the benefits of the story!

"We have to beware of the old Ruan family's sitting on the fishing profits, what countermeasures do you have?" asked Yao Qirong.

"Does Dad mean that he is neither willing to unite with the Fan family nor surrender to us?"

Yao Qirong pouted and nodded.

"Did he say it explicitly or just didn't say it?"

"You know I don't like to ask in person, but he doesn't know what I mean when I go to his house. If he wanted to talk to me, he would have already started this afternoon. Ruan Gumao is not the kind of person who can hold things in his heart. ”

Yao Yuanshan thought to himself, what does it mean if he doesn't say it, what does it mean? Yao Yuanshan didn't know Ruan Gumao, but he still knew Ruan Shanlin.

"Dad, I might as well go and find out Ruan Shanlin's tone!"

"It's a good idea, go ahead and do it!"

Before the competition, Ruan Shanlin served in the Yuan Mansion, and after the competition, Yuan Ying did not ask Ruan Shanlin to go to the mansion again, so now Ruan Shanlin is basically in a state of being idle at home.

Brother Gongzi has nothing to do at home every day, and at most he is wandering the streets, going to the teahouse to drink tea, or talking nonsense with other sons and brothers to pass the time.

When Yao Yuanshan finally found Nguyen Shanlin on the street, he was foaming at the mouth describing how brave he was in the ring.

Now that Fan Qingsong has won in the end, and Ruan Shanlin is no longer in the Yuan Mansion, there are far fewer people who praise Ruan Shanlin's stinky feet than before, and some people will even question some of his words.

As soon as he finished introducing his "advanced deeds", someone in the crowd snorted coldly, and Ruan Shanlin was about to have a seizure, but he didn't expect someone to pat him on the shoulder.

Ruan Shanlin turned around and wanted to scold, but saw that it was Yao Yuanshan who came.

When Ruan Shanlin saw his former friend, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or anything, he moved half of the corners of his mouth, and seemed to smile.

"What's the matter, I haven't seen you for so long, you forgot my name?" Yao Yuanshan said.

Ruan Shanlin didn't move half of the corners of his mouth this time, but really smiled: "What is the matter, what is not the matter!"

"Let's go, we brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time, go have a drink, let's go!" Yao Yuanshan pulled Ruan Shanlin as he spoke, regardless of whether he agreed or not.

The two of them walked into a nearby restaurant, and Xiao Er recognized the sons of the two patriarchs, and quickly found them a window seat to serve good food and drink.

Yao Yuanshan didn't speak in a hurry, picked up the wine glass and toasted Ruan Shanlin first.

Ruan Shanlin touched the cup with him, but put it down but didn't drink it.

Yao Yuanshan finished drinking and saw that the wine glass in front of Ruan Shanlin did not move, and joked: "What, are you afraid that the wine will poison you and harm you?"

Ruan Shanlin smiled "hehe": "The key thing is also to harm the future city lord, isn't it?"

"How long has it been since you've seen a green pine?"

"I haven't seen him since I fought him in the ring!" Ruan Shanlin said calmly as he looked out the window.

"It's a pity that you didn't get the position of city lord, to be honest, I would rather be the one who got the position of city lord!"

"Brother Shan laughed, the seat of the city lord is the most suitable for you to sit, and we are actually not suitable. ”

"How do you say this, look at you, come and eat!" Yao Yuanshan diverted the topic.

But Ruan Shanlin didn't give him a chance to divert the topic: "In terms of the strength of the three families, it should be the better in Brother Shan's family." Although the times create heroes, not everyone can be a hero, and you have to be a powerful person to become a hero. I didn't expect Brother Shan to be willing to come and see me. ”

Ruan Shanlin looked lonely and raised his wine glass to drink it himself, and then filled the wine glass again.
