301. Understand
Nangong Jin's attitude seemed to be very resolute. There was silence in the study, and Nangong Dingkang turned his head and asked Gao Changjing, "Mr. Gao, what do you think?" β
Gao Changjing smiled and replied, "What the second son said is right. However, I am afraid that it will not be able to withdraw in the short term. There are two reasons for this. Naturally, it is an important reason. But the other one, the second prince has actually seen it, the various guards are seriously empty, if it weren't for our assistance in the form of recruitment, Shanxi would not be as prosperous as it is now. Therefore, the four halls must be withdrawn, provided that the war is completely subsided. β
After Gao Changjing finished speaking, before the two of them could answer, they heard a small servant outside the door report: "Master, the master of the Fenzhou Wang family has arrived, and he wants to see the master." β
"Let him wait in the living room." Nangong Dingkang was not surprised, and he didn't immediately receive Wang Lixian's intentions, and continued to ask Nangong Jin: "I heard that you know some formations?" β
"No, it won't." Nangong Jin replied directly. At your own level, it would not be better to answer.
Nangong Dingkang smiled helplessly, "With a group of ten people, the swords, guns and shields perform their duties, and Tianchengwei is practicing very well now." In a few days, the four hall masters will come, and I will give you ten Qingfeng hall members to practice with Tang Shubin. β
Nangong Jin really didn't want to mention Tianchengwei, so he hurriedly shirked and said, "This, it was just to save my life at that time." β
"To fight a war is not only to kill the enemy, but also to save ......." Nangong Dingkang was about to say something, but was interrupted by the noise outside.
"Nangong Dingkang!" Wang Lixian was stopped by the guards, stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Nangong Wan is a member of our Wang family, you have been detaining it for so long, what kind of system has it become!" β
Nangong Dingkang frowned, and ordered the guards: "Let him in." β
Wang Lixian strode into the door, and when he saw Nangong Jin who was about to get up and leave, he said angrily: "It's the second son." β
Nangong Jin saluted Wang Li first, "Nangong Jin has seen Uncle Wang. β
Wang Lixian sneered and skimmed, "No need." Take care of it, look at this face and don't live long. β
Nangong Dingkang's eyes stared at Wang Lixian coldly.
Nangong Jin smiled and said politely: "Seeing looks is a ninth-rate thing, and I didn't expect Uncle Wang to be good at it." β
"What did you say!" Wang Lixian stared at Nangong Jin with an angry face.
"Don't be rude." Nangong Dingkang got up and stopped Wang Lixian, he was not afraid of what would happen to Wang Lixian, he was worried that Nangong Jin would lose his breath. Instructed Nangong Jin: "You arrange for Mr. Gao to go to the guest room first, and then talk about other things tomorrow." β
"Yes." Before leaving, Nangong Jin still saluted Wang Li first.
Gao Changjing also got up, "My subordinates retreat." Salute to the two people in the room and follow Nangong Jin.
"Ignorant child." Wang Lixian cursed hatefully. Then, without waiting for them to walk away, he said in a loud voice: "I'm here to pick up the wife of the Wang family!" β
Nangong Dingkang sat back on the chair indifferently, "Heli." β
"Dreaming!"
Nangong Dingkang paused and asked, "Didn't you say last time that you were going to bring a letter of resignation?" β
"Dream! She was born into the Wang family and died as a ghost of the Wang family, and I am here to take her away today! Wang Lixian raised his head and said loudly.
Nangong Dingkang sneered, "You can try." β
"Nangong Dingkang, you really think I'm afraid of you! You really think I don't dare! "Wang Lixian is aggressive.
Nangong Dingkang was silent, simply picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, did his own thing, and ignored him anymore.
**********
Wang Lixian's big noise made Nangong Jin suddenly feel that he had lost face, and he hurriedly left with Gao Changjing. Gao Changjing also knew that he was embarrassed, and tried his best to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
After Nangong Jin instructed his subordinates to prepare the guest room, he drank tea with Gao Changjing in the flower hall. All kinds of tea sets were lined up, and he picked up a can of Qimen black tea casually, and asked while brewing: "Why didn't you say it before?" β
Gao Changjing took the tea handed over, "Seven or eight years ago, I wasn't the hall master, just a crane in the clouds." If the head of the house doesn't recruit this time, I won't come to Binh Duong. β
Nangong Jin heard the bitterness in his words, raised his head and asked, "Why?" β
Gao Changjing took a sip of tea and pretended to smile very freely, "When I get old, my wife and son are dead." Loneliness is also a kind of freedom. β
Nangong Jin looked at him, while Gao Changjing looked at the tea in his hand, "I'm sorry." β
Gao Changjing laughed, "It's not so sad, everyone knows it." The present day is also suitable for me. β
After being silent for a long time, Nangong Jin said: "I met in Tianchengwei, it can be regarded as fate." β
"It doesn't count." Gao Changjing shook his head, "I know that Song Zhi, the master of Lubei Hall, is married to a daughter, and I also know that the second son will visit the general soldiers of the Acropolis. Tianchengwei in that area is the most prosperous acropolis, and Lu Beitang is not manpowered, so I haven't left. I thought I was just helping the master of Song Hall to receive the second son, but I didn't expect it to be ....... Before the siege, I didn't know the second son, and after the siege, it didn't matter if Gao was under the Nangong Gate. β
Nangong Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed." β
After drinking tea for a long time, Gao Changjing said slowly: "The Nangong clan has four halls in the north, and this has never been a secret. But you may not know that the actual force of these four halls is only a lot more than the two full acropolises. β
Nangong Jin was stunned, "There are so many people?!" β
"It's not just people, even the defenders envy our equipment when I was there. Originally, in an acropolis like this, we always had 15 to 2,000 men. After the last request of the head of the sect to be reduced to zero, all the congregants withdrew from the acropolis, leaving only a few points of contact. Even so, it's just a faΓ§ade. Alas, Tianchengwei has not fought for many years, and this time it is indeed Lu Beitang's carelessness. β
Nangong Jin's eyes widened, "You mean, there are tens of thousands of people in the four halls?!" These people are there? The equipment is also there? All of them can fight? β
Gao Changjing nodded.
Nangong Jin gasped, she never thought that it would be such a force, and she had to withdraw from the hall! Immediately, immediately!
"Do you want to withdraw even more?" Gao Changjing laughed, as if he saw through him. "However, without them, the front line of Xuanda can't be defended at all." Afraid that he didn't understand, he continued: "In fact, we are not the only ones who are guarding, even the Jinshang Silver has privately recruited soldiers, but the scale is not large. Of course, they have their reasons for doing this, and defending the country is not the only reason. I think the court should also know, just as it knows how serious the empty salary is. This time, Yanghe, Gaoshan, and Tiancheng did not participate in recruitment, and the second son also saw the situation. Still insisting on withdrawing now? β
Nangong Jin thought about it for a long time, Gao Changjing's statement was not bad, the force of these four halls, that is, burning silver, also producing silver. It's no wonder that the big bosses don't dump the small methods of the other families at all, and those few are stupid enough to think that they can control the Nangong clan, but the court can make the century-old family doomed with a word. If something happens, what can you keep your identity?
The idea of temporarily leaving Jinyiwei when Tianchengwei was raised was shaken again.
"Actually, the second son is really not at ease, it is better to officially take over these four halls, at least he knows what is going on, and he can be prepared." Gao Changjing poured tea for himself, and said it very casually.
It seems like an idea, too. If that's the case, go to the capital to find a way to find a way to get a background for these four halls, at least don't worry about it in the short term. The question is, with what method?
The two didn't talk any further, just chatting casually about the atmosphere and eating in Pingyang.
