"Well......" Fu Wenxuan thought for a while and said: "You must already know that the reason why my mother chose Gao Yu is because she took a fancy to her background: her mother is not only the closest to her relatives among all the existing side branches of the Gao family, but her father is also the confidant of Yu Ying, the prime minister of the dynasty. Choosing her can not only force the Gao family to no longer sway from side to side, in case the Gao family defects at any time, but also can use this to test Yu Ying's intentions......"

"Well, I know. Gao Ran responded, "Before your Fu family chose Gao Yu, the Gao family originally planned to use her to ally with Yu Ying. It seems that it is intended to facilitate the marriage contract between Gao Yu and Yu Ying's son Yu Qiwen?"

When Fu Wenxuan heard this, he responded: "That's right. However, this is not just wishful thinking on the part of the Gao family. Yu Ying, at the behest of His Majesty, also planned to kiss his confidants......"

"Oh, then, the Yun Emperor still plans to use the Gao family to contain the Fu family's threat to the Yun family?"

As she spoke, Gao Ran unconsciously fell into her own thoughts:

"Hmm...... Today, the respective forces of Fu and Gao should not be underestimated, but the attitudes of the two families towards the Yun family are somewhat different. In comparison, the Gao family is still more cautious and restrained than the Fu family in treating the Yun family. But your Fu family is already the first major threat that the Yun clan is bound to eradicate first.

"Among the four major families of Yunxiang, except for the main forces of Fu and Gao, who are still in Yunxiang's territory, the other two have basically moved away from their main forces. The Dong family had quietly transferred their main forces to a few small surrounding countries and the Jiao Kingdom, which was still stable, while the An family, even though it had been an ally of the Yun clan in the past, had now withdrawn its main forces from Yunxiang with the assistance of the Heavenly Pavilion.

"These two...... The Dong family is the enemy who does not offend me, and I will not offend the enemy, but if the enemy offends me, I am afraid that even if it is Tiange, it will be hit hard and not to be underestimated. Therefore, if you can not provoke the Dong family, try not to interfere with it well.

"As for Anjia, it does not seem to have any intention of fighting for power, but has gathered its forces on the borders of the two major powers and those small countries, and still focuses on business, but it can only barely protect itself by force, but it is powerless to inflict heavy damage on any of the larger forces. Therefore, they still relied on the Heavenly Pavilion for their protection. And in return, Tiange did share a lot of the profits from the business. This is also a good alliance that can coexist and benefit each other. - But I don't know if the An family knows that this kind of symbiosis is not absolute-especially for Tiange, An Jia is not the main source of income for Tiange. Even, without the 'protection fee' offered by the An family, Tiange would not have suffered any fatal losses.

"But looking at the current distribution of the An family's forces, and the strategy they are still implementing that emphasizes business over military force, I think they probably only know that they need to protect themselves, but they still haven't figured out how strong their own force is to really keep their home......

"Heh, the funny thing is that even so, even if An Jia seems to be the weakest in self-protection, it is not the most vulnerable at the moment. Even without the protection of the Heavenly Pavilion, as long as it was not completely divided, the An family might not be more vulnerable than the Yun clan today. Now the Yun clan, among their own blood relatives, have begun to blatantly kill each other. The Yun clan is really suffering from internal and external troubles now. I'm afraid that even if this old Yun Emperor can temporarily suppress the most powerful royal relatives, so that the major factions will not dare to rashly take the lead in launching a rebellion, but once he dies, Yun Zhen, the third prince who succeeded to the throne, is afraid that it will be difficult to suppress this situation.

"Therefore, in the territory of Yunxiang, if you only look at it alone, the only force that can make your Fu family fearful now should be Tiange, right? And the forces distributed in this Tiange in Yunxiang are mainly under Qiu Yueze's orders. But you still don't know his attitude towards your forces?

"If my guess is correct, your Fu family should be waiting for an opportunity, right? Waiting for the Yun clan to finally expose its fatal weakness by itself - once an internal rebellion breaks out completely and the Yun clan's power begins to collapse from within, that will be the day when your Fu family will seize the opportunity. And as long as you seize the opportunity, then you will be able to occupy the absolute advantage that is difficult for anyone to easily seize in the future?—— especially if Tiange and the Dong family are not involved, and the Gao family is restrained by you?"

Fu Wenxuan only smiled lightly. But he didn't forget that Gao Ran couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment, so he quietly patted Gao Ran's hand.

His small actions were seen by the "Seven" on the side. "Seven" was particularly impressed by this. - It's just that Fu Wenxuan's small action, which is easily ignored, has made "Seven" understand the biggest difference between them: Fu Wenxuan can really have a heart-to-heart with Gao Ran, so he can take care of her situation at any time without deliberately doing so, and convey everything he wants her to know in a timely manner in a way that she can feel. And this is exactly what "Seven" has always ignored before this.

In the past, "Seven" always thought that he had cooperated with Gao Ran's communication method, but now he realized that what he thought he had changed was actually adjusted in accordance with Gao Ran's clear explanation. Even the so-called "communication", most of the time, he was forced by Gao Ran to do what she asked.

But Fu Wenxuan is different, he is really communicating with Gao Ran. Both of them are proactive. And Fu Wenxuan was even more able to put himself in Gao Ran's inconvenient situation at this time for her sake, so he could let her know his thoughts in a way that she could feel in such a timely manner.

The tacit understanding between them is not only because they dare to believe in their understanding of each other, but also because they dare to completely surrender their lives to each other and believe in each other openly. - If they can't do this kind of heart-to-heart trust, their tacit understanding at this moment cannot exist. It is impossible for "Seven" to be deeply touched by the tacit understanding between them as he is now, and even feel the possible threat of such a tacit understanding to him—and a mortal threat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so inexplicably frightened and faintly uneasy......

Gao Ran felt Fu Wenxuan's touch and smiled unconsciously. She confessed to him:

"Wenxuan, I can only say that after I return to the capital and meet Yu'er, I can clearly tell you whether I will choose to help you. But don't worry, until then, I won't get in the way of you for no reason. - As long as your Fu family doesn't take the initiative to hinder me, I won't take the initiative to hinder you.

"Well, why don't we make a 'March Covenant' first? The poison I gave to Amu can still be cured within half a year, but if the antidote is not taken after half a year, then even if I take the antidote later, I will not be able to recover my martial arts. And, I'm afraid that even whether I can act normally will be a problem...... So, I think March is the safest time.

"Since you said you'd do it, let's try it first. If, within three months, you can really convince him, or if you think you can take responsibility for all the consequences of his actions, then you come to me for an antidote. But, you have to come in person. I'll just give you the antidote. ”

"Good. Then when you see Yu'er, say hello to her on my behalf. Tell her again: 'What she asked me about it, I've made up my mind now.' I hope I won't see her again in this life, otherwise, we'll each do what we can. ’”

Hearing this, Gao Ran couldn't help frowning, "So, do you also know about Yu'er's betrayal of the An family and her switch to the Yun family?"

"Hmm. I can't stop her......" As he spoke, Fu Wenxuan also mentioned some past events by the way......

"Before I decided to go back to Fu's house, I wandered to the place where Yu'er happened to be there, so I secretly went to see her a few times...... But at that time, it happened that the previous head of the family was in critical condition, and Yu'er openly instigated the elders of several side branches of the An family to support her as the head of the family in advance, and tried to relocate the forces of the An family back to Yunxiang after succeeding to the throne and reconcile with the Yun family. When the former head of the family found out, he was furious and immediately abolished Yu'er's inheritance qualifications and replaced her younger sister An Qi to succeed him. He also specially instructed An Lu, the head of the An family, to support the new head of the family wholeheartedly. And on the night after An Qi officially succeeded to the throne, the former head of the family went to ......

However, with An Lu in charge, due to her prestige in the An family, those elders who wanted to support Yu'er couldn't threaten An Qi for a while. But in the end, he still had a dispute with several other elders who were willing to support An Qi according to the will of the former head of the family. And the dispute has become more difficult to reconcile. In January, however, they split into two completely hostile factions. One faction supports An Qi and the other supports Yu'er, but both factions claim that one faction is orthodox ......"

"Oh - no wonder An Qi agreed with me that as long as she is still the head of the An family, all the external intentions of the An family will be based on hers...... It turns out that the 'orthodox' dispute within them has deteriorated to such an extent? In this case, the faction that supports Yu'er should have followed Yu'er to the capital by now?"

"That's right. ”

"Compared to the power of Anqi's faction, what about the power of Yu'er's faction?"

"Hmm...... Because of the support of Mr. An, although Yu'er has a lineage, she is still slightly inferior to An Qi's faction. ”

"Slightly inferior, just 'slightly inferior'?" Gao Ran couldn't help but be a little surprised.

When Fu Wenxuan and "Seven" were a little puzzled by her surprise, Gao Ran took the initiative to explain:

"It seems that there are really a lot of people with two hearts in this An family.

"If the information I know is correct, then since An Qi is the younger sister born to An Min's mother, then she should naturally be a direct bloodline. So how is she not 'orthodox'?

"I'm afraid that those dissidents themselves know that compared to An Qi, who is now nearly thirty years old, Yu'er, who is only eleven now, is obviously easier to control, so they want to support Yu'er, right? And this should be just the first step......

"It seems that if the current An family no longer has the support of Tiange, I am afraid that it will not be far from a complete split......

"Yes, although the Yun family is also divided within the family today, it is far less than the current An family. ”

"Hehe, you still understand me. Gao Ran could naturally hear that Fu Wenxuan's emotion was just to give feedback on what she wanted to express just now, and at the same time, it could also allow her to reconfirm whether what he understood was consistent with her original meaning?

Xu was on a whim, Gao Ran also learned from Fu Wenxuan, and also had the purpose of wanting to confirm with him whether her understanding was wrong, and asked him rhetorically: "Wenxuan, if I understand correctly, the words you asked me to pass on to Yu'er should not be aimed at the An family, but the party that supports Yu'er, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Good. Then when I see Yu'er, I will convey your meaning to her. However, as for which side I will ultimately support, it will have to wait until I have met Yu'er and Yun Zhen before I can decide. ”

"Yun Zhen, you mean the third prince?"

"Hmm. Why? Could it be that Yu'er has gone to the capital now and chose to support the Yun Clan, not for Yun Zhen?"

Fu Wenxuan pondered for a moment, as if calming down his own private emotions, and then calmly replied in a tone that seemed to have nothing to do with him: "Yu'er should be for the third prince, but the faction that supports Yu'er needs to rely on the support of the Yun clan to fight against An Qi's faction with the support of Tiange. Therefore, he decided to break away from the current An family and moved his forces to the capital. ”

"Are you saying that the faction that supported Yu'er took the initiative to break away from the current An family and moved their forces to the capital controlled by the Yun clan in order to show their sincerity to the Yun clan who was willing to support them?"

Saying these words, Gao Ran himself shook his head a little puzzled, and sighed: "Are they going crazy to control the An family? Will they choose to take refuge in the Yun family at this time? The Yun family itself is about to be unable to protect itself, and still take refuge in them? If the An family as a whole causes its own independent core force to fail to survive this turmoil because of this, then even if they regain control of their reputation, what is the point of having a 'An family' that exists in name only? Is it because they want to hold a person who has been completely reduced to a puppet, Reduced to a pawn in the hands of others, can they be buried with themselves?"
