Chapter 1388: The Family's Pawn
Nangong Ao glanced at her daughter, sighed lightly, and said, "Dudu is indeed Princess Ruoxi's fiancΓ©, but isn't Princess Ruoxi dead?" I'm afraid that there is no hope for Dudu, and because Princess Ruoxi died because of me, not only the royal people have a problem with me, but the people of the Du family are very resentful of me, after all, I ruined their desire to marry the emperor. β
Saying this, Nangong Lengshuang understood, "What my father means is to let the ninth sister marry the young master Dudu, and our Nangong family and the Du family will marry?" β
"That's right, the status of our two families in the court is very important, if we can marry smoothly, it can be regarded as a strong alliance, and the other big families will definitely be afraid of us." Nangong said proudly.
He felt that he was a genius, and he could use these nine daughters to maximize the interests of the family, such as marrying the eldest daughter Nangong Piaoxue to the Orc Country, using the strength of the Orc Country to contain Xiangxiang Country, giving him an advantage on the battlefield, and giving the fourth daughter Xiuchun and the fifth daughter Ning Dong to the emperor, and the two of them became the emperor's concubines, so that the Nangong family had a place in the harem...... After planning again and again, Nangong Ao felt that he had done it perfectly.
Seeing her father's smug look, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything, this is her father, a father who can sacrifice his daughter's happiness, perhaps, she will one day be like the eldest sister and the fourth sister and the fifth sister, and be given away by her father as a bargaining chip.
But she didn't dare to resist, just like the ninth sister Yanran, once she resisted, she was imprisoned in the Linglong Pagoda for hundreds of years.
"Okay, the sect will take full responsibility for the affairs of the sect." Nangong Ao said: "But you have to remember two things. One is to trick Lin Tian into entering the palace to serve as the emperor's guard, this second thing. It is to let your ninth sister take the Forgetfulness Pill, so that she can completely forget and steal Lin Tian. I will go to the old man of the Du family tomorrow to discuss the marriage of Yan'er and Young Master Dudu, if it is successful, it is naturally very good, if it is not, then I will find the young master of other big families, anyway, after Yan'er leaves the Linglong Tower, she must get married. β
His ninth daughter, Nangong Yanran, has given him a headache for so long, and it is time to contribute her own strength to the family, as long as she can join the wealthy family. The position of the Nangong family in the Nanyan Kingdom is absolutely unassailable.
"Yes, my daughter understands." Nangong Lengshuang nodded and said. Although her father was a little selfish, this was a good thing for Jiu Mei, after all, she could come out of the Linglong Pagoda and marry a good family, and after she took the Forgetful Love Pill, she also forgot about the matter between her and Lin Tian, which was also a good thing for her.
Subsequently, Nangong Lengshuang returned to the sect again with the head token and the Forgetful Pill. But Pi Zhan was waiting for her in front of the sect's gate early.
Seeing Nangong Lengshuang returning to the sect, Pi Zhan greeted him with a smile and said, "Second Miss, you can be regarded as coming back." β
For the appearance of the hippie smile of the leather war. Nangong Lengshuang was a little disgusted, but still asked, "How is the task of capturing Crimson Luo completed?" β
Pi Zhan smiled at first, but there was a hint of embarrassment on his face. Said: "Second Miss, I have good news and bad news here. Which one would you like to hear? β
Nangong Lengshuang frowned, glared at Pi Zhanjiao and shouted, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." There's a fart, I'm busy. β
"Good, good." Pi Zhan hurriedly said: "I'll tell you the good news first, Crimson Luo has been arrested by us and is now locked up in the sect's cell." β
Nangong Lengshuang glanced at him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's very good, as long as this demon girl is caught, my father's heart will feel better...... Wait, I'll give you credit for your father. β
"Thank you, Second Miss, this is what a disciple should do." Pi Zhan laughed.
"What's the bad news? Don't say Crimson Luo ran away again. Nangong Lengshuang asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Not really." Pi Zhan smiled bitterly: "I fought with the four elders and Crimson Luo for a thousand rounds, and in the end both sides fought to exhaustion, although Crimson Luo was finally caught, but Elder Kong was killed in battle......
Speaking of this, Pi Zhan didn't dare to continue, because Elder Kong was an old-timer in the sect, and if he died suddenly, presumably Nangong Lengshuang would definitely lose his temper.
But Nangong Lengshuang didn't make any angry expressions and movements, just frowned slightly, sighed and said: "So that's the case, it's not bad news, Elder Kong is also honored to be able to sacrifice for our Nangong family, and when the competition is over tomorrow, I will arrange for him to be buried thickly." β
Pi Zhan was taken aback by Nangong Lengshuang's bland look, Elder Kong was one of the best masters in the sect, and now that he was dead, he didn't shock Nangong Lengshuang, but she just sighed, that's all.
Could it be that in the eyes of the people of their Nangong family, other people's lives are insignificant and insignificant?
But thinking about it the other way, in fact, everyone is like this, even human nature is like this, you can sacrifice a qiΔ for your own interests, yes, Elder Kong is indeed very powerful, but in the huge sect, it is not very important, and if he dies, someone else will take his place.
This is also the reason why when Elder Kong was killed by Crimson Luo, the other three elders did not come to the rescue, perhaps the three of them were thinking about how to occupy Elder Kong's position.
Nangong Lengshuang didn't see these complicated changes in Pi Zhan's heart, and just asked lightly: "How is the arrangement of the competition?" β
Only then did Pi Zhan react and said, "Second Miss, you can rest assured, the ring has already been built, and the registration of the disciples of the sect is nearing the end." β
"Who is participating in the competition?" Nangong Lengshuang asked.
"Most of them are disciples of the inner gate, and their cultivation is above the foundation building period, and there are also some uninteresting outer disciples who also want to join in the fun, but they are only a few, and their cultivation is not the opponent of our inner disciples at all." Pi Zhan sneered.
The outer disciples are all people with dull talents, and even if they work hard for a lifetime, they can't achieve any advanced cultivation, but Pi Zhan is not despising their kind of death-seeking behavior, but they just feel that talent occupies a large part of the cultivation of truth, and if the talent is good, they can achieve high cultivation, and if the talent is not good, even if they have the heart to become a master, they can't reach it.
Nangong Lengshuang nodded slightly, this inner disciple and outer disciple are put together, she naturally has to focus on the inner disciple, after all, they are the solid force of the Nangong family. (To be continued......)
