Chapter 387: Night Talk
Under the same night sky, there are always completely different lives being staged.
Specific to the Kyoto Prefecture of the Great Qian Dynasty, this magnificent city with a population of 10 million people, naturally life is also varied, bizarre.
In the entire sixteen countries of the Southern Regions, except for the Daqian Dynasty, the other fifteen countries have a very wonderful unified name for Kyoto, which is called: the city of miracles.
Different from the shield of the southern regions, the bright pearl and so on, the city of miracles is exclusive to the Kyoto Prefecture of the Daqian Dynasty.
Because for the other fifteen countries in the Southern Regions, the birth of Kyoto Prefecture is a miracle in itself.
It's a pity that there are no miracles in life, and the tens of millions of Li people living in this city of miracles are still constantly crushed and crushed in the millstone of life, and they have gone through their different life trajectories, and then finally all of them are moving towards the same death.
In this world, sometimes it is fair that you can't help but feel fear.
Just when Xia Fan was answering Ye Yi's questions, the patriarch of the Xia family in the capital was also discussing two extremely important things.
The patriarch of the Xia family sat on the main seat in the hall, and in addition to it, there were four other people sitting in the hall, Xia Chunqiu and Xia Jiangshan were among them.
However, compared to Xia Chunqiu and the other three elders, Xia Jiangshan was at the end of this room, always looking like he was listening.
Obviously, he will appear here, but the Xia family patriarch let him know some of the core affairs of the family in advance, so as to prepare in advance for inheriting the entire family in the future.
"The detailed situation is probably like this, His Royal Highness asked us to try to recruit that Xia Fan as much as possible, and the two family guards we sent to Dongshan County to find the Qingyang City branch family were found to have died unexpectedly in the middle of the road, about these two things, everyone should express their opinions."
The Xia family patriarch had already finished talking about these two things before, and now he had set the tone, and he wanted to hear what the other elders thought.
"Patriarch, that Xia Fan inexplicably became the first vice president jointly promoted by the three major groups, which may make His Royal Highness feel a certain amount of pressure, so he wants to try to solve the problem in a gentle way. I think it's an opportunity for us. It just so happened that the guards we sent to Qingyang City also died unexpectedly halfway, and we didn't have time to convey our meaning to the Qingyang City branch, in this case, why don't we push the boat down the river, give that Xia Fan enough benefits, and put it under the jurisdiction of the family, isn't this equivalent to ...... All at once with the help of three major groups? ”
One of the three elders spoke.
The Xia family patriarch nodded noncommittally, but did not express his opinion on this statement, but looked at the other two elders again.
"Patriarch, what the second elder said is reasonable, but ...... It doesn't suit our family's current situation. ”
Xia Chunqiu stood up, leaned over and continued: "Regarding that Xia Fan, I have been in contact with it. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that he is a very backbone person, which can be seen from the fact that he refused our previous request without hesitation. In addition, because of Ye Yi's matter, it can be said that there has been a great rift between the family and that Xia Fan, and the young man is impulsive and bloody after all, I don't think we can have any effect if we take the initiative to solicit again. Especially when he suddenly got such a big boost. ”
"I agree with the Five Elders."
The last of the three elders also spoke aloud: "If then Xia Fan is a person who is easy to control, it will be fine. But the facts are in front of him, and Xia Fan is obviously a person with a lot of ideas. Such a person has the help of being so powerful that he is not inferior to the family at all, if he is really invited back to the family, is it good or bad for us? Is it difficult to do it with the strong and the weak? There are also many suspicious points about the death of the family guards in the middle of the way, in the territory of the dynasty, there are still bandits who dare to do something to the people of our Xia family? Could this matter be related to the Qingyang City branch? ”
"Sixth Elder, you're thinking too much, the two guards we sent are both true martial arts sects, and they have been taught by the family most carefully since they were children. They are more powerful than the same level of martial arts, and we have also checked the bodies of the two guards, both of whom were forcibly killed by people in the front, and there is no trick. If you want to do this, and let them not even have time to escape, if it is those ordinary martial arts sects outside, they must at least have the realm of seven grades or above. Qingyang City Branch, it is impossible to have such a person. ”
Xia Chunqiu shook his head without hesitation and denied the idea of the third elder.
"Jiangshan, do you have any opinions?"
Listening to the three elders expressing their opinions, the Xia family patriarch still did not express his opinion, but looked at Xia Jiangshan and asked.
"Father, the three elders, Jiang Shan does have some ideas."
When Xia Jiangshan heard that he was named, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, and bowed to the four of them with fists in front of him, and then continued: "Several elders, I have also been in contact with that Xia Fan once, and I have the feeling that that Xia Fan is very strong. So I'm very strange, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, how can he have the confidence to fight against our entire Xia family? Moreover, a young man who is less than twenty years old can actually show his attainments in the three major fields of alchemy, forging and runes at the same time, which is ...... Is it possible? ”
"Jiangshan, what do you mean ......"
Xia Chunqiu frowned.
"Fifth Elder, what I mean is very simple, there must be someone behind this Xia Fan. The one who really convinced the presidents of the three major groups must be the person behind Xia Fan. As for Xia Fan, he is just a puppet who has been pushed to the foreground, and only in this way can he explain these incredible things. So I don't think Xia Fan himself is important, he was just pushed out to attract attention, in this case, even if we can really include him in the family, it won't be of much use. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Jiangshan raised his eyes and looked at his father, and then said: "But since His Highness has explained, we have to do it, after all, it is His Highness's order." But whether things can be done or not, it is not up to us to control, I believe that with the habit of doing things with His Royal Highness, if we fail to solicit, it is impossible for His Royal Highness to have no other preparations. Therefore, I think the focus of the family should be on investigating the death of two guards. No matter what the two guards died for, the family must show a tough enough attitude, otherwise how can our Xia family deter the branch family? ”
Listening to what Xia Jiangshan said, the head of the Xia family nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, what Jiang Shan said is exactly what I want, since this is the case, Xia Fan's side will be recruited by you. As for the killing of the two guards, we will investigate it ourselves and will not go through the channels of the government. Let the dark hall move all the way, and within a month, I will get a satisfactory answer. ”
The head of the Xia family expressed his opinion, which can be regarded as an end to tonight's night talk.
