Chapter 240: The Living Can't Do It, and the Dead Can't Do It
However, Fan Jian's sister-in-law still ordered Huang Qiong outside the words. Don't think about dragging Fan Jian, just think that you can gather the entire Xiangyang Fan family under your command. From the moment Fan Jian made his choice, he was no longer a part of the Fan family. From now on, the Fan family will be in the second young master of Fan. No matter how far Fan Jian goes in the future, the Fan family will not provide him with any assistance.
Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words seemed to clear the relationship, but in fact, she was making a final effort. Let Huang Qiong not think that by winning over Fan Jian, the second young master, you can win over Fan Jian. In the subconscious of this couple, the reason why the British king desperately grabbed Fan Jian was actually looking at the Fan family. As long as he dispelled this idea of the British king, he would still let him go.
And Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words are also full of countless helplessness. Although the Fan family in Xiangyang is the first family of martial arts, it is also known as the richest man in the rivers and lakes. But the tree is a big move, those ambitious princes, isn't that one eyeing the tiger? Fan Jian's identity cannot be kept secret for too long. Sooner or later, others will know that this staff member next to King Ying is the dignified second young master of the Fan family.
In this way, it will inevitably bring great harm to the Fan family, who have never been close to any forces, especially those princes. Leaving aside the relationship with Fan Jian is also a helpless method adopted by the Fan family in order to protect themselves. Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words, I also hope that the king of England can understand them, and even more so listen to them.
Regarding Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words, Huang Qiong just laughed. In contrast, he is not too good at words, and he speaks a little straightforwardly. Fan Jian's sister-in-law said a lot more tactfully. Although there is an implication, what is said is not so difficult to accept, it is really not a family that does not enter the door.
This is a smart woman, and her intelligence is no worse than Liu Hu's wife, this is how Huang Qiong felt after the first confrontation with Fan Jian's sister-in-law. In terms of human sophistication, he is much stronger than Fan Jian's brother, who has a slight young master's temper. It seems that the Fan family's vision of choosing a daughter-in-law is also very accurate.
Having such a daughter-in-law can completely make up for the weakness of Fan Dao. It seems that after more than 100 years of ups and downs, countless famous families have weakened. There is a reason why the Fan family in Xiangyang is still thriving. It's just that in the current situation, which can even be said to be a little weird, can the Fan family really be alone?
Huang Qiong bets that the Fan family can resolutely abandon Fan Jian who devoted himself to himself at this time to protect himself, presumably there are definitely not a few princes or other clans who have tried to win over the Fan family over the years. Even within the Fan family, there is a certain fluctuation of people's hearts. After all, on the outside, it seems that in a united family, it is impossible to be monolithic on the inside.
Especially those distant relatives whose bloodlines have been estranged, I am afraid that they may not all be willing to submit to the patriarch. Everyone is surnamed Fan, why can you control the power in the main house, and we can only obey your orders? Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there will be fighting, which is an eternal truth.
This is the case in the court, the royal family, not to mention a big family that has been thriving for hundreds of years and flourishing? The Fan family behaved like this, killing Fan Jian, the monkey, in addition to self-preservation, I am afraid that it would be more for some chickens in the family who were about to move.
If the actual situation is really as I expected, it is enough to show that the current battle between the princes has a much larger scope than I imagined, and it is no longer limited to the court. In this case, a wealthy and martial family like the Fan family would not be able to completely avoid it. Some people's hands are stretched too far.
As for Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words, Huang Qiong didn't understand it. Regarding the accusations contained in Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words, Huang Qiong only smiled faintly. Over time, there are some things that don't need to be said too much, so let time verify it. If you explain too much, I am afraid that it will become a cover in the eyes of others.
Especially Fan Jian's extremely intelligent sister-in-law, it is not so easy to make sense. The more intelligent a person is, the more thoughts he has in his heart. What's more, she is still a smart woman. The best thing to do for such a person right now is not to give any explanation.
Looking at the somewhat helpless couple in front of him, Huang Qiong just smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, your husband and wife, this king only likes Fan Jian, not your mansion." It doesn't matter if he Fan Jian is the second young master of the Fan family in Xiangyang, or a beggar. As long as he is talented, this king will treat everyone equally. ”
"The man this king is interested in, not the power behind him. Moreover, this king believes that although Fan Jian has now become an outcast of the Fan family, he can travel lightly for him, and he does not have to worry too much about the safety of the family, and he can show his strength. As for the rest, the virtuous couple don't have to worry. ”
It's just that Huang Qiong's words have just finished speaking, and they haven't waited for Fan Dao and his wife to speak. The gate of the city tower was pushed open, and Zhao Wuxian, who was supposed to inspect the defense, hurriedly walked in: "Lord Wang, several defenders who were in charge of observing the northwest corner of the city just now have been killed. It seems that the rebels sent killers to touch the city, and the last general is making every effort to organize a search, and the prince must be more careful here. ”
"The general's reminder seems to be a little late, and we are already there. Speaking of which, we would also like to thank the general. If it weren't for this general to lead the way, we wouldn't know that His Royal Highness the King of England would stay in this humble city tower if he couldn't live in the comfortable Dutong Yamen. ”
As soon as Zhao Wuwu's words fell, a shrill laughter came from behind him. With this sinister laugh, more than a dozen black-clothed people with their faces covered poured into the city tower. Hearing the voice behind him, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but be taken aback. hurriedly drew his saber and tightly protected Huang Qiong behind him with Liu Hu and Wang Dalong.
Looking at the dozen or so black-clothed people who came uninvited, Huang Qiong was secretly taken aback in her heart. These people were able to follow up quietly, indicating that the guards outside the door were probably in trouble. His own guards were all selected by the old man from his side. Although he is not a big master, he is also about second-rate.
was so quietly solved, it seems that these people are not good. It's just that he is getting deeper and deeper now, and the thoughts in his heart are rarely shown on his face. In the face of these dozen uninvited assassins, Huang Qiong's face did not have any expression, it was still unwavering, and he didn't even have a hint of surprise.
I thought that the appearance of these people would at least scare this prince. As a result, I didn't expect that there was not even a slight change in people's faces. The killer leader, who had a rather mischievous habit, could only say a little boringly: "Your Royal Highness, on the orders of King Jing, I invite His Royal Highness to go out of the city to get together to solve the pain of parting between brothers." ”
"Your Royal Highness, I advise you not to do useless struggles, otherwise it will hurt your noble body when the time comes, and it will be difficult to speak, right? As far as the three-legged cat kung fu of your guards, since we dared to come in with great fanfare, we didn't pay attention to it at all. This guy's words seem respectful, but in fact, there is no half-respect in his tone.
For his superficial respectful, but in fact threatening words. Huang Qiong smiled faintly, but sat down. Serve yourself a bowl of mutton soup and drink it deliciously. didn't look at the group of killers in front of him in his own eyes, or even directly treated them as if they didn't exist.
Until a bowl of mutton soup is drunk, and the corners of the mouth are slowly wiped again. Huang Qiong, who stood up again, did not look at the group of assassins in front of him, but patted Zhao Wuxian, who was desperately blocking in front of him, and after skillfully removing the sword in his hand with a slight wrist, he said in an unusually stern tone: "It's okay, you retreat first, you won't be needed here for the time being." ”
"As the current Supreme Commander of Tiger Prison, you have to understand what your duties are. Go do what you have to do, your battlefield is outside the city, not here. Don't forget, you are now the soul of the Tiger Prison Defenders. If something happens to you, we don't have to fight this battle, and we will already lose. This king has never admitted defeat since he was born. ”
In an unprecedentedly stern tone, after reprimanding Zhao Wuxian. Huang Qiongcai turned his head and looked at the assassin in front of him with a smile on his face: "Tell this king, who your real master is." If this person makes the king's heart move, the king will naturally meet him. If you can't say it, but the king wants to see what you can do with the king. ”
"Because this king has developed a habit since he was a child, that is, no one can force this king to do what he does not want to do. Father, emperor and mother can't do it, let alone the unsightly master behind you. Don't keep talking to this king about King Jing, and play with this king as a three-year-old child. King Jing may not have that much ability to summon you people. ”
was exposed by Huang Qiong, and he didn't know Huang Qiong's character, and he thought that the murderous intention implied by the smile on Huang Qiong's face was ridiculing himself. The assassin leader, who was somewhat annoyed and angry, looked at Huang Qiong and said viciously: "Since the king of England toasts and doesn't eat and drink, then it's no wonder that we can't be blamed." King Jing said, if you don't live or die, you can do it. ”
With a wave of his hand, he took the lead in waving a steel knife and rushed over, seeing the assassin rushing over, except for Zhao Wuwu, who was held down by Huang Qiong, the guards around Huang Qiong under the leadership of Wang Dalong and Liu Hu also raised their waist knives without fear to meet them. The two sides fought selflessly in this large-scale gate building in the Tiger Prison Guandong Pass.
It's just that this group of assassins not only has an advantage in numbers, but also has quite a lot of skills. Most of the guards around Huang Qiong, except for Liu Hu, were from border army officers. The skills are second-rate, and they may be good at fighting immediately, but this hand-to-hand combat with the Jianghu people is obviously not an opponent.
It didn't take long for most people to fall into a situation where they were left to stumble. Only Liu Hu, who took over the opponent's highest kung fu, can barely support it. After getting the two martial arts cheats given to him by Huang Qiong and getting from the Shaolin Temple, Liu Hu's martial arts realm improved very quickly. It's a pity that his previous serious injuries have greatly reduced his original kung fu.
Although the improvement is great, it cannot fully compensate for the original loss. Although it can be maintained, it is also full of dangers. The assassin leader opposite him, after recognizing his kung fu, sneered: "As a Shaolin disciple, you don't want to avenge your Shaolin predecessors, but instead sell yourself to seek glory and forget your ancestors, you are really ungrateful." ”
Liu Hu's kung fu is a fierce road. Although this guy cooperated with his companions, he faintly gained the upper hand. But if you want to take down Liu Hu, you can't do it in a short time. This guy was worried that if he couldn't take the target in a short time, once the other party's reinforcements arrived, he would not be able to complete the task, so he ridiculed and harmed people, so as to make Liu Hu retreat without a fight.
