When Lin Feng was inspecting the city defense system at the head of Shouzhou City, a debate around him began in the study room of the newly purchased mansion of the Fang family outside Jinling City.

The topic was extended from the news that the Fang family brought back from Shouzhou, and the message passed by Lin Feng was very clear, the Great War between the North and the South is very likely to happen, and Shouzhou is the first to stand in the way, you can decide for yourself that you can temporarily withdraw your assets, or even withdraw Fang Ning and Fang An, who are currently in the junior military academy.

This time, to the surprise of the head of the family, Fang Hongli, who served as the manager of Jinling Supermarket, became the opponent.

Fang Hongli put forward the reasons that Lin Feng's foundation in the DPRK was not deep, the strength in the north was too strong, and the strength of Shouzhou was too small, and his mouth was endless, trying to persuade his eldest brother to recognize his point of view, the Fang family should leave one more way back, and should not bet on Lin Feng alone.

Fang Hongxing stared at Fang Hongli in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Fang Ruicheng, who was sitting on the upper seat and closed his eyes, but did not answer.

"Father, eldest brother, if Lin Feng is defeated in Shouzhou, our Fang family is very likely to be uprooted by his political enemies, and the foundation accumulated by our Fang family for several generations will be destroyed in one fell swoop!" Fang Hongli almost shouted these words.

Fang Hongxing was really puzzled in his heart, stared at his younger brother, and finally asked: "Second brother, you have been with Lord Lin for the longest time, and you are the manager of the supermarket, so you should know the most about Lord Lin, why do you have little confidence in Lord Lin?" ”

Fang Hongli's expression hesitated slightly. For a long time, he had mentioned his son to Lin Feng many times, and wanted Lin Feng to give him a hand, but he didn't get an ideal response, and the eldest brother's son Fang Tai has now made a lot of reputation with Lin Feng, and even the emperor has seen it, which makes him have a slight complaint about Lin Feng.

Fang Hongxing was a little dissatisfied, pointed at his brother and reprimanded: "If you have something to say, just say it!" It's about the future of the family, what else is there to hide? ”

Fang Hongli stomped his feet and replied loudly: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, during this period of time, some people from the DPRK and China have been running to the supermarket to find me, and have been testing me, reminding and suggesting that our Fang family consider switching to the real ministers of power in the DPRK, and also promise to give our Fang family a few more Beijing officials after the defeat of Shouzhou." ”

Fang Hongxing sneered angrily, pointed at his younger brother and said loudly: "You are really a lard!" There is a frank gentleman like Lin Feng who doesn't believe it, but he believes the fraudulent words of some real villains! Can this kind of nonsense be believed? What are a few loose officials in Beijing? As long as Lord Lin overcomes this current difficulty, he will inevitably return to the court to take up important positions in the future, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to have a few real job vacancies! ”

Fang Hongxing retorted unconvinced: "More friends and more roads!" I am also thinking about the future of the Fang family! ”

Fang Hongxing shook his head angrily and said, "Second brother, it seems that you have been in this prosperous Jingshi for a long time, and you are a little lost, and you can't even see who your real friends are!" Do you remember Shuya? ”

"Shuya? Is it the scholar who originally followed Lin Feng and didn't go to Shouzhou later? Fang Hongxing was a little inexplicable.

"Yes. The other day, when I happened to visit the Academy of Extraterrestrial Sciences, I caught a glimpse of him and found him very emaciated. After inquiry, I learned that he didn't go to Shouzhou because someone introduced him to a so-called good family affair, but a few days after the two sides got better, people found that there was not much inside story to dig from him, and they began to snub him, and I heard that it was very difficult for him to see the daughter of the Zhu family now! This is the best proof of meeting people who are unladylike and bumping into villains! The villain has always made friends with profit, but Lord Lin never puts profit first! Fang Hongxing's tone was full of regret and anger, and he sighed loudly.

Fang Hongli was speechless, but his face was still noncommittal.

Fang Hongxing shook his head angrily and opened his mouth, almost wanting to tell the secret that Lin Feng had already let the Fang family participate in the navigation agreement and produce weapons, but he forced this idea down.

At this time, the old man Fang Duanchengfang, who had been sitting firmly in the military tent, coughed lightly and said slowly: "Small victories rely on wisdom, and big victories rely on virtue." Lin Feng has been able to get to where he is today, not only by wisdom, but also by virtue. Although there are many people in this world who are discouraged, immoral and untrustworthy, we still have to believe that there are real moral people in this world! ”

"Yes, thank you for your father's teachings!" The two brothers bowed down at the same time to salute Old Man Fang.

Old Man Fang paused the sandalwood cane in his hand on the floor tiles, and then said: "There is one thing, I have never told you, there are no outsiders today, I will tell you." At that time, not long after I took over the family business, there were important people in Dongdu who wanted to intervene, but at that time, I really couldn't judge his character, so I only got a lot of money and spent a lot of effort to settle the matter. As a result, within two years, that person lost power! ”

Fang Hongxing and Fang Hongli glanced at each other, they were a little confused, the old man said two paragraphs, and seemed to support the two of them respectively, what does this mean?

"I have retired, and I have decided not to interfere in my decision. I am telling you this in the hope that you will know that the Tao is uncertain, the world is impermanent, you must make wise judgments, make the most correct decision, and once the decision is made, do not look left and right! In my personal opinion, our Fang family has now boarded Lin Feng's big ship, can we temporarily change owners? Old Man Fang's voice became deeper and lower, and when he said the last sentence, the person seemed to fall asleep and stopped talking.

Fang Hongxing clapped his hands lightly and said to Fang Hongli in a deep voice: "Second brother, we have no turning back, we must fully support Lord Lin to the end!" ”

Fang Hongli was stunned for a long time, and then replied in a low voice: "Okay, I'll listen to the eldest brother!" ”

At the same time, in an inn room in Shouzhou City, Wang Jianfeng, the deputy general of the Shouzhou Army in civilian clothes, met with a middle-aged man.

Wang Jianfeng found that the other party's face was not familiar, so he immediately became vigilant, flipped his hand, and showed the short blade in his sleeve: "Who are you?" Why did you invite me to come secretly in the name of Lord Feng? ”

Two people who were very fast suddenly jumped in from the door and blocked Wang Jian in the middle of the inn.

"In the next book, he is a small person under the Privy Council, and his name and surname are not worth mentioning, but the autograph and small seal of the adult are not false at all! I just want to chat with General Wang for a while, please take a seat! The middle-aged man smiled shallowly, and he looked sincere. After he lit up an official document, he withdrew it into his arms and asked Wang Jianfeng to sit down and speak.

Wang Jian's cover sank like water, sat on the stool, and pushed the teacup handed by the middle-aged man away from his eyes.

The middle-aged man was not dismayed, pushed the cup of tea over again, and said with a smile: "I wonder what General Wang thinks of the future Shouzhou War?" ”

Wang Jianfeng still said angrily: "The progress of the war is ups and downs, who can say the victory or defeat?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head lightly, waved his hand and said, "That means that General Wang at least doesn't have full confidence in Shouzhou?!" The facts are clear, the division of the Tang Dynasty has been sparse for a long time, and in the face of the north with peak strength, the chances of victory are not good! And in the future, Zhou, Wu Yue, and the Southern Han Dynasty will attack our Tang Dynasty at the same time, how many reinforcements can Shouzhou expect? In the final analysis, in the end, it is very likely that a small Shouzhou will face a big country, and everyone knows that Lin Feng is dead! How many moments does General Wang think that all this foolish tossing and turning by Xiao Lin Feng can last? ”

Wang Jianfeng replied angrily: "I don't care who you want to come at, and I don't care what you mean." I only want to tell you, Lin Feng even collected Chu Land and Qingyuan, and made a name for himself in the Liao Kingdom, these are not said by mouth, I have confidence in Lord Lin! ”

The middle-aged man snorted again and again, slapped the table lightly, raised his voice slightly, and said: "That's because he happened to catch up with the shit luck, once the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north go south, where will he go to borrow strength, where to go to help?" ”

Wang Jianfeng slapped the table suddenly, and the person stood up: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence!" I retired under it! After saying that, he turned around and left.

"I know that General Wang has never been Lin Feng's confidant, now please ask General Wang to think about it, on the one hand, the official position of the deputy general of the forbidden army plus 20,000 yuan of money, on the other hand, the head is not guaranteed, and the family is gone, General Wang should not choose the wrong side, right?" The middle-aged man said unhurriedly.

Wang Jianfeng turned around suddenly, drew his knife in his hand, and stared at the middle-aged man with fire-breathing eyes.

"I have a cheap life, General Wang can take it at any time! However, General Wang's family in Jinling City is more expensive! As long as I can't go back within five days, or I can't get a satisfactory answer, or today's matter is leaked, Ling Zun, Ling Tang, your lady and your son, I'm afraid I'll ...... after five days" The middle-aged man drank tea for a long time, said lightly, and showed a tail and didn't say anything, but the threat was self-evident.

Wang Jianfeng's right hand holding the knife was bruised, and he gasped and glared at the middle-aged man.

The four men remained motionless, and the room fell into a terrible silence until it was broken by the sound of a dagger falling to the ground.
