In the secret room of the Hou family, the head of the Hou family and the young man were secretly negotiating something, and after half an hour, they walked out of the secret room, and the head of the family decided to break up the meeting, leaving only the young man in the house.

Since the King of Qi had withdrawn most of the people who were watching, and most of the troops in the south were concentrated in one place, Ran Fei began to be bold and set up secret military bases in some remote places in the north as a place to raise troops at that time. And began to quietly transfer people in the army who were loyal to him, use the army of Qi to train people, and then send them to his own military camp.

Ran Fei's plan was implemented smoothly, and the relationship between him and Miss Shan also heated up rapidly, but the prince's side sent one of his henchmen to the north, Ran Fei knew in his heart that he and the prince were not very familiar with each other, this was a temptation he made in order to understand himself, Ran Fei gave this prince's henchman a good place to live and good food and clothes, although he was not of high grade, but he was the prince's person, Ran Fei knew very well that to give him face was to give the prince face, as long as he said good things in front of the prince, You will rise step by step.

The letter from the north soon reached the prince's hands, and he said in his heart that Ran Fei respected the prince very much, and he did have the heart to belong, the prince was very happy, and sent many gifts to the north, Ran Fei did not refuse at all, but Ran Fei had some doubts in his heart. The power of the Hou family in the north is getting lower and lower, but there is no action, this is a good sign, because he knows the style of the Hou family, if there is no action for the time being, it means that there will be greater action, Ran Fei wants to tell the prince and let him be careful, but at this moment they are in the stage of understanding each other, and if they say this rashly at this moment, I am afraid that they will be suspected by the prince.

But Ran Fei doesn't want the Hou family's tricks to succeed, then the only way is Tian Dan, but King Qi has both trust and fear of Tian Dan, in his eyes, the Hou family and Tian Dan are the same, if Tian Dan rashly does something, no matter what, King Qi will feel that Tian Dan has the right to squeeze out his opponent. King Qi's idea is very simple, let Tian Dan, Ran Fei and Houjia check and balance each other, and he is in the middle, as the biggest beneficiary. This is also a trade-off technique that many emperors are very good at.

Ran Fei was very entangled, and Ran Fei, who had always been quite strategic, felt a headache at the moment. But if you don't do something, then you may be caught off guard by that time.

At this time, a major event suddenly occurred in the north, a flash flood occurred in a town in the north of Jiyang, and the entire town was almost destroyed, because it happened during the day, most of the villagers went out to work, and only a small part of them were buried by the flash flood. Lu Zhonglian hurriedly ordered to dispatch Jiyang's garrison to the rescue. Lu Zhonglian Ye went in person, and at this moment, Ran Fei became the biggest official in the city.

And at this moment, the people left in Jiyang by the Hou family have become meat in Ran Fei's hands, which can be eaten at any time, and Ran Fei also has this plan.

Ran Fei asked all the eyeliners of the Hou family to go to the rescue on the grounds that Lu Zhong did not even have enough rescuers, and only called the people of the Hou family to go. The Houjia's eyeliner in Jiyang has been known to Ran Fei, and the Houjia also knows that Ran Fei is doing this to turn them upside down, but he has to obey at this moment, because at this moment Ran Fei is the most powerful person in Jiyang, and if he doesn't obey, he will disobey orders and can be arrested. The reason why the Hou family did everything possible to remove Ran Fei's position as secretary was because Yuan Qi killed the people of the Hou family, and Ran Fei desperately protected Yuan Qi, which led to a resentment, and the Hou family did not trust Ran Fei's refuge at all.

Forced by the order, these Houjia eyeliner had to leave Jiyang to rescue, and after these people left, Ran Fei made a bold decision, taking advantage of these people leaving, to send someone to sneak into their mansion quietly and steal evidence of their crimes, not to mention, I really found a few.

But Ran Fei definitely couldn't just take out the evidence directly, so he asked people to throw the evidence into Shangqing's mansion in the middle of the night. Lu Zhonglian's housekeeper didn't dare to slack off for a moment after getting the evidence, and immediately informed Lu Zhonglian about the flying pigeon biography, Lu Zhonglian knew that this was a big deal, but the rescue was also very important, so he handed over the matter to Ran Fei to deal with, Ran Fei's handling was very simple, all of them were dismissed and detained, waiting for trial.

Ran Fei took the opportunity to weaken the Hou family's power in the north again, which made the prince very happy, and the threat given to him by the Hou family's power was also reduced, so he played the king of Qi again and gave Ran Fei a reward.

The king of Qi needs the strengthening of the prince's power, because this will have a check and balance on the Hou family. Seeing Ran Fei and the crown prince getting closer and closer, King Qi was very happy, and immediately ordered: "Severe punishment will not be granted!" And the crown prince will personally preside over the case.

Ran Fei was very happy when he heard this news, because it meant that King Qi already thought that he and the crown prince already had a vassal relationship, and as long as he continued like this, he would be able to paralyze King Qi and develop his strength.

As soon as the prince goes, of course, he will be severely punished, and after this incident, there is not much power left in the north, and the head of the Hou family also feels very anxious, but there seems to be no way! Moreover, Yan Guo has also begun to have a series of actions recently, and Ran Fei immediately wrote to the King of Qi to inform him of all this, apply to start collecting reserves, and train them.

King Qi was worried that Ran Fei's strength was too strong, forming a big tail, and only agreed to levy a small part of the team as a reserve, after Ran Fei received the order, he immediately carried King Qi behind his back to make another set, integrated with his secret army, and began to build a strong army. But nominally, he still did what the King of Qi ordered, and the reason why Ran Fei dared to be so bold was because he expected that the Qi Kingdom would be torn apart in the near future, and at this moment, it was time to prepare.

A month later, the attendant beside King Qi died of illness, and a new attendant came, and King Qi's deep liking was always able to think of King Qi's heart.

At this time, it was the time when the prince closed the case of corruption of officials in the north.

King Qi was very happy to see that his son was very good, and immediately rewarded him with a lot of property, and after the prince accepted it, nearly half of the items were given to Ran Fei to buy his support.

After Ran Fei and the prince have been in contact for about a month, the two have a certain relationship, but Ran Fei knows in his heart that if he is not the marshal of the north, the prince does not need his own support, and the prince will not be able to treat him like this. And with the understanding of the prince's temperament similar to that of King Qi, Ran Fei firmly believes that he must have strength, otherwise, he will only be used by others in this life.
