Chapter 288: The Death of the King
Nangong Xiao, the monarch of Jingnan Kingdom, is only left with the last two months left.
Since ancient times, countless kings have hoped to live a long life, and in the end, no one has been able to escape death.
After standing at the top of the world, you forget that you are a mortal, and forcibly deceiving yourself that you can go against the sky is undoubtedly a big joke.
Nangong Xiao's prestige in Jingnan is incomparable. His sudden departure caused a national sensation in Jingnan.
The slow wheels ran over every inch of Jingnanguo, and everywhere they went, there were boiling cheers and countless tears choking.
Some people even dug up all the soil that Nangong Xiao had traveled and took it home to worship under the god tablet.
This time, Nangong Xiao's feeling was different from the previous ones. In the past, it was a kind of arrogance and domineering; Now it's indifferent and reluctant.
When a person is about to die, the most nostalgic thing is nothing more than his relatives and children.
Jing Nanguo is Nangong Xiao's child, and he has devoted his life to Nangong Xiao for Jing Nanguo, and he has also exhausted his life's energy.
Nangong Xiao believes that children should grow up under the care of their elders, and life is a kind of guardianship and inheritance. Excessive freedom inevitably leads to constant strife. Therefore, Nangong Xiao's proposition insists on the centralization of imperial power.
The difference in political views divided Jingnan and Jingxi back then, but the people who stayed in Jingnan were able to live in peace under the rule of the Nangong family, and never had to worry about the pressure of life, employment and medical treatment.
From a certain point of view, Nangong Xiao is a good monarch.
At the last stop, Nangong Xiao came to the King's Square established for him by the Chinese people.
Standing silently in the square, surrounded by figures kneeling down in layers of black pressurization, Nangong Xiao stayed under his tall gold lacquer statue and watched.
After dark, Nangong Xiao turned back to the palace and never saw him again.
One night, Nangong Xiao summoned Li Jie alone.
"Are you the mysterious power of the Feng family?" Nangong Xiao looked at Li Jie and sighed slightly: "Since you already know that I am a mortal person, there is nothing to hide from me." ”
Li Jie shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you mean?" ”
In the past, Nangong Xiao would think about the consequences three times before saying a word, but now he is relaxed when he faces Li Jie.
"I remember the last time Yuyang went to the Feng family to discuss the cooperation alliance, he encountered an enemy attack. Although he was unharmed afterwards, Yuyang does not remember the specific circumstances of being rescued at that time. I asked Feng Guolong, and he told me that it was because the military forcibly broke into the secret room and rescued them. But as far as I know, the Feng family's secret room is unbreakable by outsiders. I thought Feng Guolong was deliberately hiding from me, so I also found someone to investigate secretly. But I was surprised to find that no one knew who opened the door of the secret room at that time! ”
Nangong Xiao paused, frowning as if talking about something that frightened him: "I investigated a lot that time, and found that there was a very inexplicable phenomenon in Shuiyun City. At the key points of some events, all of them did not remember the specific details. It's as if a mysterious force has erased all the memories of everyone. Yuyang didn't know, Feng Guolong didn't know, the military didn't know, and everyone in Shuiyun City didn't know, and it was all this that made me feel very frightened. I know that Xiao Jinghua once wanted to forcibly take possession of Feng Xiaoting, although it is shameful to say, but if the result does happen, it will make the marriage between the Feng family and the Xiao family an unchangeable fact. But Xiao Jinghua, who was injured the next day, was carried on a stretcher and put on the plane, and even the Xiao family didn't know anything about the details! You know, these key events are enough to change the whole world pattern! ”
Nangong Xiao's heavy words didn't cause Li Jie to react, but he let himself gasp.
"I corrected everything and found that everything revolved around the Feng family, so I was wondering if there was a mysterious force secretly protecting the Feng family. If you say that you are this mysterious person, I will believe it! ”
Li Jie didn't know how to answer. After thinking about it, he said seriously: "I should be in contact with the Feng family for the first time. ”
"Then how did you get this ability to see through fate?"
Li Jie shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either." I don't even remember anything from before. ”
"Hehe, I don't know!" Nangong Xiao sighed, then looked at the sky with both eyes and took a long breath and said, "I'm leaving." The rest of the matter should no longer be about me. ”
The words were slightly bleak. After speaking, Nangong Xiao immediately waved his hand to send Li Jie away, leaving the entire empty monarch's bedroom and a dim yellow ceiling lamp to him alone.
Three days later, the monarch was buried, and the territory of Jingnan was full of snow-white scenes.
The Minister of Finance rushed back to his home as soon as he heard the news from the palace, and took out the edict left by Nangong Xiao when he secretly summoned him half a month ago from the pried open wall tiles.
"If I die, Jingnanguo will use all its treasury to help the Feng family. If I am born, kill Li Jie and keep Feng Xiaoting to see what will happen later! ”
……
Two months made Feng Guolong feel that two centuries had passed.
After hearing the news of Nangong Xiao's death, Feng Guolong was suddenly shocked and almost rushed to Jingnanguo regardless of the consequences.
At the same time, he received Feng Xiaoting's good news, which made Feng Guolong's mood as overjoyed as if he was on a roller coaster.
As soon as the plane arrived at the private airport of Shuiyun Villa, Feng Guolong, who was anxiously waiting, immediately stepped forward to greet him.
When he saw Li Jie's figure, Feng Guolong couldn't wait to hold the other party's hand cordially.
Feng Guolong's sudden change in attitude made Feng Xiaoting come back to her senses for a while, when she heard the other party whispering about Li Jie's Orton Arena.
"I didn't know what to expect. But I know that only by doing so can the crisis be averted for the time being. ”
Feng Guolong nodded in understanding, and immediately invited Li Jie into his exclusive car, just wanting to rush to the study where no one was there to ask for detailed advice on the direction of the future.
"Dad! I have something to tell you! Feng Xiaoting mustered up the courage and said loudly in front of Li Jie and Zhang Boqing: "I want to marry Li Jie!" The public kind! ”
Feng Guolong, who was caught off guard, looked at Feng Xiaoting and then at Li Jie. His face cramped and muttered, "It's a good thing to get married, it's a good thing." But ......"
"However, the Feng family is in some trouble now, and it is not the most suitable time."
Zhang Boqing's interface made Feng Guolong grateful, and the latter wiped a cold sweat.
Feng Xiaoting spontaneously raised her temper and shouted, "I don't care!" I'm getting married! I'm just telling you this time, I'm not asking for your consent! ”
Feng Guolong hurriedly pressed his hand and signaled: "Be quiet!" A group of people outside the study. When people heard it, they didn't laugh and died. ”
"What's so funny about me getting married? I think which of them dares to laugh?! Feng Xiaoting said angrily: "You looked down on Li Jie before. Now that Li Jie has helped our Feng family so much, you should have nothing to say! ”
"That's what you say...... This time, the Feng family was able to solve the crisis because of Li Jie. I have also heard Feng Xiaoting introduce that Nangong Xiao's change of position is all due to Li Jie's rescue of Nangong Hanyu regardless of his life, which makes Feng Guolong feel a lot of debt.
After Zhang Boqing stepped forward and patted Feng Xiaoting's shoulder, he said in a condensed voice: "Of course your father hopes that you can find a wishful man." It's just that there are still some things that have not been resolved, and the Feng family is actually facing the crisis of collapse at any time. ”
Immediately, Zhang Boqing said to Li Jie: "No matter how you know. But we can now be sure of Ge Lao's rebellion, and the other party is the Xiao family. We have some important things that have been taken away, and this person is likely to be with Ge Lao or the Xiao family now. ”
"What's that?" Feng Xiaoting asked in surprise.
Feng Guolong shook his head hesitantly, and diverted the topic: "I didn't expect that the driver who has followed me for more than 20 years is actually an undercover agent of the Xiao family. If it weren't for the incident in the stadium last time for me to track down all the way, I'm afraid that I would continue to fall for the opponent's tricks. However, people I have dealt with ......"
After a pause, Feng Guolong said frankly: "Elder Ge and the Xiao family have already begun to move. In the past few days, news has come out from within the group...... They said that I embezzled the group's funds, and that someone wanted to impeach me as president. ”
After glancing at the surprised Feng Xiaoting, Feng Guolong sighed and held her shoulders and said, "Xiaoting, there are some things you don't know yet." When this matter is over, Dad will explain it to you slowly. ”
Zhang Boqing approached Li Jie and asked solemnly face to face: "As long as we can get our things back, this difficulty can be solved smoothly." You see...... Can we get it back? What should I do to get it back? ”
The three people in the room were all staring at Li Jie, and the latter always had a solemn expression on his frown.
The longer Li Jie didn't answer, the more Feng Guolong's heart kept falling to the bottom of the abyss......
